If asked to prove it, they can neither bring forth any video footage of a species evolving into another species, or they rely on scientifc claims that it has been observed, but cannot provide proof that the authors are speaking truthfuly.Why haven't we observed macro-evolution?
Because we don't live that long!
We have observed micro-evolution many times in the past, and it is continuing to be observed today.
Micro-evolution uses the same process as macro-evolution, and therefore can be used to evident macro-evolution.
Amphibians can be considered a great example of evidence for evolution.
Similar to their fish ancestors, amphibians lay eggs in the water. These eggs resemble fish eggs. Amphibians are the decedents of lobe-finned fish. Lungfish are one type of lobe-finned fish, and are strikingly similar to the ancestors of early amphibians. Lungfish live in one of the harshest environments, suffering from seasonal droughts. In order to survive and reproduce, Lungfish must use their pectoral fins to migrate to other bodies of water.
This helps explain amphibian evolution.
May I also mention the similarities between all vertebrates?
All vertebrates obviously possess a backbone, but their anatomies all carry some basic shared features.
For example, most vertebrates possess four limbs.
These four limbs do have the potential to serve a multitude of purposes, from the usage of tools by humans to the ability to fly with birds.
With humans, there are some genetic disorders that can severely affect the shape of the limbs and of the hands.
Most notable is Lobster-Claw Syndrome, resulting in one large finger and a thumb developing.
This is just the result of one gene.
Now imagine this process happening for over 300 million years, and think of how varied the results would be.
The facial structure of vertebrates is also an indicator of common decent. With most vertebrates, their facial structure is comprised of eyes above a pair of nostrils, and a jaw below the nostrils.
This trait is shared within most FISH and TETRAPODS, which can only be an indicator of shared ancestry.

So the evidence should be obviously clear that perhaps the biggest hoax and lie of all-time is evolution.
What kind of global conspiracy is going on to make up to 95 percent of all scientists accept evolution?
What validates your beliefs?
