Evolution does not say amoebas morphed into fish. It says amoebas and fish share a common ancestor. Until you understand the difference, you indeed do not understand evolution, and the evidence for the common ancestor has been repeatedly shown to you.

Then why do evolutionists start their comic strip out with amoebas and then out of the slime pit a fish crawls out and then that fish morphs into a chimp which then morphs into a human.

You are quite correct. Since no one makes that claim, it would be weird to show it.

Could you please define the word "morph"? And could you explain why it is that you think evolution means that these beings "morphed" into one another?

Shouldn't be too hard to prove since you and everyone says the evidence is there!

Now get cracking mate and show me single celled amoebas morphing into fish in the fossil record.
And please don't say, "That's not how it works" or "You are asking for the impossible" or "It is not like that and you just don't understand how it works." You said it is in the fossil record so I am taking you to task on this. PROVE IT!
I have already explained the evidence or 'proof'. You can quite easily look up the geological age strata, the types of fossil found in them and draw your own conclusions.

I'd even take the time to set it out for you if I thought it would do any good, but I know I've done this in the past and not a scrap of it has penetrated.

Well, there we are. We present evidence and you ignore it and ask for some fossil imprint of an amoeba turning into a fish.

Ok, I could show the fossils from superimposed strata showing a progression from groups of cells (sorry, can't do the single ones, but not even you could claim that one cell couldn't possibly get together with some others) through complex pre - cambrian structures (graptolites, for example) and then onto annelids and the first primitive fish with rudimentary backbones.

But then you'd still insist on some absurd fossil imprint of every damn' stage of it as it occurred.

Can't do that. We can only show the evidence we have the best explanation of which is evolutionary progression and not all created at once. If this is not good enough for you, that's your problem. It is sure good enough for a lot of others.

I think you know what "morph" means.

Just show me the facts. If humans are just **related** to single celled amoebas as one of the respondents in this thread stated,hHow are we related to single celled amoebas? Evolution states that single celled amoebas are what started everything. So if fish did not come from single celled amoebas where did they come from? Did they must magically poof themselves into existence without any single celled amoebas?

Explaining and proving are two different matters. I thought you have proof we came from single celled amoebas. You never showed me any scientific proof which would hold up in any court of law.

As the old commercial used to say: Where's the beef?

If you don't have proof I understand. Really, I do. After all, how can you have proof of something that never happened in the first place?

Fact is, you didn't present evidence.

Just show me the fossil facts where humans evolved from single cells and it will suffice. Otherwise it is all make-believe.

I'd be happy to see a fossil of single celled amoebas turning into something wholly unlike a single celled amoeba, like a bed bug.

You have no evidence. It is just your word against mine.

Amoebas were not the first single celled organisms. You are working from a fallacy.

I'm afraid I am not responsible for what you thought. I know what you ask by way of evidence is whatever it is we can't wave in front of your eyes.

Court of law? You are like the barrister who claims that if the other side haven't got a film of his client sticking a kniife into the victim then there is no evidence and no proof. You would be laughed out of any court of law. Just as creationism is becoming a laughing stock.

Of course, we knew what you were going to do, ignore all the evidence there is, insist on something either remote from evolution or what you thought we couldn't provide or if we did, demand something harder.

It is the old trick of demanding 100% proof, which the Believing fraternity always deny they ask for.
