Evolution Theory - please show the proofs

It seems you don't know why you believe in darwinism. Its just wishful thinking.

As opposed to believing in virgin births, miraculous healings, walking on water, feeding thousands of people with a basket of fish and dead bodies coming to life?

BTW, it's not "Darwinism", it's "Evolutionary Theory".

[TheDarkestOfAngels]

what you have said, is not what i asked you to present. It seems you are unable to do so, therefore, i cannot take you seriously. It seems you don't know why you believe in darwinism. Its just wishful thinking.

I don't believe in darwinism, I acknowledge evolutionary theory. Darwinism isn't a thing.
Second, you're the one who brought up the MIT paper and you requested of me the following:

"Please quote the part of the paper, which convinced you and gave you unquestionable proof, human speech was due and arose through gradual evolution."

And I answered you in two seporate ways. Just because you think you can define the parameters of the answer in a manner impossible to answer honestly doesn't mean I'm incorrect in the answer to your question.
As the giant robot in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy stated (paraphrasing from the movie here): "In order to get the answer you want, you're going to have to ask a better question."

I've otherwise given you an answer you've blatently ignored. Furthermore, what reason do I have to believe that even if I've given you even less disputable evidence than I have so far that you'll even accept it as much?
Otherwise, you're just giving all of us an exercise in futility by forcing everyone here to only be able to present answers to you that you've purposefully made impossible for us to answer in the manner that we can here, on the forums.

I also have no reason that this exercise is going to do any good because your perceptions on atheism, science, adn the processes and truths behind both are hopelessly skewed with the flavor of whatever inane kool-aid talking apoints you've been fed by people who expressly want to cling to their irrational and unfounded superstitions.

you presented this paper amongst others as proof for evolution of speech. So i am asking you to present the part of the paper, which essentially convinced you, evolution of speech is possible. If you cannot do that, you failed.

@NoGodaloud?

I'm sorry, but quotes from creationists are not "scientific evidence". If you think that Francis Collins' support for evolution is flawed because it is disputed by scientific evidence, please provide the evidence that disputes it.

Now you might understand why we don't take quotes from people (even in their fields of expertise) as gospel truth. You don't accept Francis Collins' quotes even though he is in the field of expertise of evolution, so now you know why we don't accept random quotes as evidence of anything other than opinion. Maybe now you'll look at the facts.

Indeed you did and I told you that there wasn't a single part of that paper that convinced me and I gave you an explanation as to why. I have not failed. I've given you everything you asked for in your flawed question.

So why have you presented it then , in first place ? present a paper then, which carries the arguments which explain and convince you about evolution of human speech.

because the entire paper is entirely focused on giving that answer to that specific question.

You may as well be asking me to prove where in a college textbook on the process of evolution proves evolution or asking me to tell you what instance in a DVD box set of one season of the simpsons thsat proves that they're an animated family. It's the entire damn work.

I conveyed this point inthe first post in reaponse to your quetion complete with my entire reasoning but you picked it apart and answered disparate components of my arguement in a manner that completely misrepresents my answer.

Why is "splitting population Z into population X and Y and putting them under different selective pressures leads to speciation and eventually leads to major differences between the two species in phenotype or their physical traits" so easy for me to understand and believe? am i crazy?

It was simple enough even for Jacob to understand: Genesis 30:25-43


Here, from verse 37-43:

37 Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches. 38 Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink, 39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted. 40 Jacob set apart the young of the flock by themselves, but made the rest face the streaked and dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Thus he made separate flocks for himself and did not put them with Laban's animals. 41 Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches, 42 but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob. 43 In this way the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.

No wonder slave holders thought they were god's gift to the world!
