1.
Well there are only two ways we could have gotten here; Created by a God,
or we created ourselves out of nothing. And I just can't get to that nothing senerio; it makes absoultely no sense to me that humanity
" Came out from under a rock", which miraculously
appeared one day out of nothing- exploded and created chemicals out of that, and eventually formulated, over billions of years, into an ameba, which eventually formed into a fish, which eventually formed into a walking fish, which miraculously learned to breathe air,
and just as miraculously transformed itself into an ape! Which later grew itself into a thinking, rational human being.
2. Secondly, that fish you displayed was created as is,
it did not evolve, nor is it currently evolving. I would like to see proof of either of those two.
Or for that matter, show me any creature on this earth that is currently evolving.
3. Show me the proof of current evolution of; lets say 10 creatures, animal or whatever. Since you claim everything on earth is evolving, 10 proofs should not be difficult to back up."

Next, a quote from the ever-reasonable and calm
sanspeur, who, despite the onslaught of intransigence, blindered awe-ish-ness and obfuscation demonstrated by
Mickiel, still moves forward with such rational conclusions as this:
"If you were a reasonable debater I probably would do that, but since you think you are a walking, talking encyclopedia, and plenty of evidence has already been offered and offhandedly dismissed by you, it would be an exercise in futility...
I have never before encountered such a self proclaimed expert such as you, and as a "people watcher" I find you and your ego mildly interesting."
________________________________________
Now then: Ten proofs of evolution you say? Heck, that's simple.
Homo erectus (PS: that'd be your ancestors,
Mickiel! Unless... you are an alien.. Sayyy; I hadn't thought of that....)
Australopithecus afarensis
Turdus migratorius
Ursus maritimus (from...)
Ursus horribilus
Procyon lotor
Escherichia coli
Acenetobacter spp. (Rapidly evolving into what's now colloquially called "
Iraqibacter spp."* since it's now showing up in returning US soldiers from Iraq, but
wasn't seen previous to that skirmish. Danged if it hasn't
evolved to take the opportunities we've provided it...)
(and finally course, this nice family, whose DNA proves their inherited familial ties)
Hominidae: [spp:
Pan, Gorilla, Pongo & Homo]
Hominidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Which brings my quick list to
well over 10. BTW, there's at least a
million species out there, and many of them weren't around even 100 yrs ago; small oceanic multi-celled organisms, all responding to ecological changes. Plus, the now-missing Cro-Magnons, Neanderthals, and others who "arose" not in any Creationist's Garden of Eden, and now are gone, all overtaken by ecological [Evolutionary] competition. Adaptive Evolution, we all it. Wow, huh?
All of the above, plus everything else that lives or ever did live on this planet; all proven to have evolved, through of course, the elements and process mechanisms that you simplistically & categorically dismiss and deny (because you won't [...or perhaps
can't? Hadn't thought of that option either... Hmmm...] read
anything, preferring to just be "in stupid awe of...")
But hey; you asked for a proof? Why then have you
not read the summary of Dr. Richard Lenski's 2008 studies, ongoing to this day at generation 33,000+, with all his study generation's DNA dutifully sampled and stored in his freezer
from 22 years ago, before he even knew bout our recently acquired ability to map any specie's DNA. With absolute accuracy. No discussion or denials possible, though I'm sure the COBI will find a way to dismiss it.... Dr. Lenski's study design: talk about elegan and conscientious, eh,
Mickiel? Oh, and irrefutable too. 'Ceptin' to you of course, because you WON'T read it.
Lenski CATEGORICALLY demonstrated the evolution of a bacterium into a
new species occupying a
new niche that the older species could not utilize?
______________________________
Then, here's another simple question for your
Omniscient** mind,
Mickiel!
If God" insta-poof" created us all as you claim
(oh, and out of nothing, which you seem to have a big problem with elsewhere...),
and there's also no demonstrable Evolution going on anywhere, any time, then,
uhhmmm...
how come our mappable Hominid genomes are all different? Even between tribes & races, but within humans?
You want to compare
your personal genome map to that of an Aussie Aboriginal? You wish to compare, let's say, yours to that of a Japanese individual? Or an Apache? Then, we can also compare the average genome of a white American now with that of the same type of individual back, let's say, 500 yrs ago.
Guess what you'll see? Go ahead: just guess.
OK, you don't know the answer or won't answer, I understand. So, I'll tell you:
Absolute Proof of Evolution and Adaptation.
___________________________
You obsequiously ask for proof, but then you run and hide.
Classic.
___________________________
But OK: please... I'm asking
politely now:
do prove ME wrong. How?
Why, it's simple,
Mickiel! Just read Lenski's publication abstract, if you even know how to find such stuff.
Then report back and refute, point by point,
exactly where he is wrong, and where the chance mutation of the test organism's DNA did NOT produce a new species. (That's "species" by our definition, not some concocted stupidity from
SICCO: the Supremely Intransigent Church of the Curiously Omniscient...
...also known out on the streets as the
Church of The Obviously Banal & Intransigent; COBI)
and so on and so forth....

Iraqibactor"s evolutionary rise: [circa 2012, from the notable CDC, who know a h%ll of a lot more about these "bugs" and their ongoing evolution than you will ever accept, in your vast and pathological intransigence]
"
Acinetobacter baumannii is a
species of pathogenic bacteria, referred to as an aerobic gram-negative bacterium,
that is now resistant to most antibiotics.[1] As a result of its new resistance to drug treatment, some estimates state the disease is killing tens of thousands of U.S. hospital patients each year, and specialists say
"they could emerge as a bigger threat."
"Emerge"? "Emerge"???? *** How, one wonders?
