Almost? That's sorta' like all those 18th century people trying to convince others that iron ships could float on the ocean ....then saying, "...well, at least I think so!"
No it isn't. I point to the evidence just as the ship builders point to the evidence. Would the observers necessarily have to fully understand exactly why the ship floats in order to accept ships floating? To see the ship floating and then to deny it is floating, well, that's just denial. But if someone came up with evidence to prove that the ship wasn't floating (ie that it had very long legs fixed to the hull and was, therefore, walking across the bottom of the ocean) then the naysayers could be triumphant: 'See the ship appears to float when really it is just standing on the bottom!'
Evidence for evolution and transitional species lies in:
Fossil records, geological records, biological records, genetic records (ie evidence). On their own these piece of evidence might
add weight to the theory but taken together they add up to an overwhelming body of proof that some organisms developed from simple to complex, the periods in the earth's history when such things happened, including extinctions can be seen in the surface of the earth itself.
For evidence for transitional species (dino to bird) look up Archaeopteryx. For whales with feet look up: Maiacetus. If you visit natural history museums you'll be able to see fossil records cross referenced to geological evidence. You could follow the links I put in my previous posts but I doubt you will bother.
Prefer the proof of the pudding in real time; sweet peas, roses, pigeons, dogs, horses. Selectively bred real-time proof of evolution.
Oh and see also mosquitoes and malaria.
Still not convinced? Had the flu lately? If you did it wasn't the flu you may have had last it year. Maybe you had a flu jab? Don't worry it'll evolve. It'll get you one day.
Ah, but I know I'm really preaching to the converted.
That one life-form could evolve into the gazillions of animals that we know about on the planet. One lousy, single-cell animal evolved into the dinosaurs ....AND.... into the gorilllas and humans. Just a little farfetched for me to accept.
Then 'god did it' should suit you just fine. Nice and simple. No evidence required. Only belief.
Several single celled organisms probably. And of course you know that humans didn't evolve from gorillas, although it is a common misconception? You know that humans and gorillas had a common ancestor which is a quite different matter. The gorilla and the human evolved separately in response to the prevailing conditions over millions of years. Not so far fetched now is it?
So yours is ....faith.... that all will be understood in time??? Isn't that exactly what the theists say to their people? "My children, when you reach the House of the Lord, all will be understood." Faith.
Well that's what the theists might well say to their children. Good for them. For some that just doesn't hack it just as when I stumbled on an ammonite on the beach aged 6;
'Well god made that' didn't quite hack it for me. Go figure.
Where'd that life come from? And indeed, where did the planet Earth come from? Where did the solar system come from?
God did it
No, I'm sorry, evolution has a helluva lot of explaining to do before I begin to worship it as most of y'all do.
Evolution is not for worshipping it is for understanding. As well you know.
Keep stirring the hypo-crites Baroneous. It's a messy job but someone's got to do it.
