1.Yes

2. Whale evolving into a fucking bear? LOL. Thats not how it works.

3. Evolution does not talk about a currently known animal changing into another known animal.
Squirrels have their own evolutionary tree, Bats a totally different one, diverged at a very early stage of mammal evolution.

Is this the forum spam version of gish gallop?

When people in the pro-evolution scientific community speak about animals evolving into "new species," are they referring to one family of animal evolving into an entirely different family of animal (eg. a squirrel evolving into a bat or a dinosaur evolving into a bird)--which are examples of macro-evolution?

Those are not examples of evolution of any sort. They're creationist pipe dreams. Like the crocoduck, useful only to serve as examples of how disingenuous, incredulous and/or deceptive creationists are.

As a hypothetical example, the transition from sea mammal (a whale-like creature) into land mammal is not a single transition, but a series of many smaller transitions over a very long period of time.

If you're actually interested in learning, and not just trolling or hit-and-run posting bullshit, get yourself a 100 college-level textbook on evolutionary biology. Based on your other thread(s), you might want to pick up something on chemistry and cosmology while you're at it.

That demotivational is funny. What's sad is that many fundies are probably stupid enough to think "Damn, they actually found it" upon seeing the photoshop.
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

In response to my question: "Is there evidence proving that humans or animals evolved from completely different beings than what they presently are?" you replied "Yes." What evidence are you referring to?

That's how it's supposed to work in macroevolution. The problem is that there's no evidence that macroevolution ever happened in the fossils record.

If you go back and look at my OP towards the bottom, you will see that the definition given by Charles Darwin and modern-day scientists for evolution is that all living creatures evolved from a "common ancestor." I even provided the website where this was said.
