Firstly, no one is under any obligation to provide you with anything whatsoever. If we had no explanation it would not default to goddidit. You have to make your own case. Now that I've cleared that up....
-The observed change in allele frequency over time. It just so happens that this is not an argument, but an observation, and it is the definition of evolution (micro or macro, as these are descriptors and not names for separate processes). NS is an addition to this, and was actually proposed before this definition was even remotely possible.
We were once unaware that this actually occurred. That's what is so amusing to me. Without understanding the mechanism at all, a theory was developed based upon what knowledge was available that stood the test of time and experimentation. We could plainly see that life had changed, we had no idea why, and still we were able to work out an explanation which would be confirmed over the next one hundred and fifty years. A similar situation is found with regards to the Theory of NS specifically. Supporting evidence has been piling up ever since man first proposed ToE by NS, no evidence has ever cropped up to falsify the theory, and that's why this theory and the goddidit proposal are in no way similar. Goddidit began to lose steam as soon as people started looking. No supporting evidence has ever been found (and all of your bullshit links do nothing to change this), and all evidence that has been found rules out goddidit (and no amount of faith can salvage this theory).
