So much stupid

Since no one has seen such a thing occur then saying that it has occurred is an unproven statement of "faith".

A cow evolving into a whale? Really, Tea. I expect better from you. Tongue The closest living land mammal to a whale is the Hippo. Cows are way off on their relational chart. I think cows are more closely related to us humans than whales.

I've been debating theists online for six years. I know what they mean. Believe me. I've been awash in their ignorance and idiocy for years.

However, humans have observed speciation (macro-evolution).

Quote:5.3.1 Drosophila paulistorum

Dobzhansky and Pavlovsky (1971) reported a speciation event that occurred in a laboratory culture of Drosophila paulistorum sometime between 1958 and 1963. The culture was descended from a single inseminated female that was captured in the Llanos of Colombia. In 1958 this strain produced fertile hybrids when crossed with conspecifics of different strains from Orinocan. From 1963 onward crosses with Orinocan strains produced only sterile males. Initially no assortative mating or behavioral isolation was seen between the Llanos strain and the Orinocan strains. Later on Dobzhansky produced assortative mating (Dobzhansky 1972).

That's just one example. But not the only one at all. Not near so.
