Biological evolution is supported by multiple, independent lines of evidence from biology, geology, and genetics. Here are the main ones, explained clearly:1. Fossil Record>Fossils show organisms changing over time.>Older rock layers contain simpler life forms; newer layers show more complex ones.>Transitional fossils (e.g., between fish and amphibians) show gradual change.2. Comparative Anatomy (Body Structures)>Homologous structures: Different species have similar structures (like the forelimbs of humans, whales, bats), suggesting a common ancestor.>Vestigial structures: Remnants of features that were useful in ancestors (e.g., human tailbone, whale pelvic bones).3. Embryology>Early embryos of different species (fish, birds, mammals) look very similar.>This similarity suggests shared ancestry.4. Molecular Biology & Genetics>All living things use DNA as genetic material.>Species that are closely related have more similar DNA sequences.>For example, humans and chimpanzees share a very high percentage of DNA.5. Biogeography (Geographic Distribution)>Species are distributed in ways that make sense with evolution.>Island species often resemble nearby mainland species but have evolved unique traits (e.g., Darwin’s finches).6. Direct Observation of Evolution>Evolution can be observed in real time, especially in organisms with short lifespans:>Antibiotic-resistant bacteria>Pesticide-resistant insects7. Artificial Selection>Humans selectively breed plants and animals for desired traits.>This shows how selection can cause significant change over generations, similar to natural selection.All these lines of evidence agree and support each other, making evolution one of the strongest and best-supported theories in science.
Bump because fuck this board
Records based on physically impossible modes of time, the first man did not evolve from other animals; wherefore he named the animals.

I will be monitoring this thread to bicker needlessly with the handful of fags pretending to be creationists.
if you believe that the earth is 6000 years old then you're not going to believe in evolution. the dispute is fundamentally over the age of the universe itself; whether man evolved or not is just window dressing over that
InB4 Ancient Aliens people: we did it all on our own
and? evolution is how God's creation moves through time
>>524152590Literally every one of your points is wrong, what's more they demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding of the field of biology. Point 3 is the one that I find most absurd as someone who has a degree in biology. Phylogeny recapitulates ontology was exposed as a fraud close to a hundred years ago.https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/features/haeckels-embryos-the-images-that-would-not-go-away
>>524158349Haeckel exaggerated the images to highlight similarities. This isn't fraud and your source discusses this fact.The superficial similarities remain, albeit in a more subtle form.
1. FossilsIt’s hilarious that anyone believes in fossils
>>524159878what the fuck do you mean "believe" in them?man has discovered millions of fossils
