Well then, you are in position to be claiming that evolution is false when you have no idea what evidence there is.

Small incremental stages is called micro-evolution. Micro-evolution eventually result in new species. Your problem is that you want to define 'species' as something that it is not. Perhaps you might like to study the work of Richard Lenski, He has already proven that incremental changes in a species results in a new species. Not a bat turning into a horse overnight of course, which is the impossibility that you are demanding evidence of.

You see! This is the sort of abject ignorance that gets you laughed at!

perhaps you need to read my posts better?
Perhaps you need to stop being so scientifically ignorant.

Damn man! His scientific illiteracy is exhausting. I need a beer...or two! Keep him talking bro. He does more to advertise the pitfalls of fundamental Christianity than a million atheists working 24/7 could ever do!

I have no problem believing that elephants and mastodons came from the same ancestor--or that the mastadon was an ancestor to an elephant. Just as the 2 cats that I have likely descended from a wilde version of them, or the shih tzu I used to have is related to the neighbor's hunting dog.

What's especially delicious is he claims to be a Pastor - someone who supposedly has some educational background.

So lurkers can see one of the very best that Christian Fundamentalism can offer.

Before I go...no, you didn't answer it. You didn't even come close to answering it. The question was... what was the first purple word in the block of text? What's the first blue word? The object was to demonstrate to you how tiny, insignificant and unnoticeable changes to the hue (micro-evolution) can result in a completely different colour (species) from the one we started with.

So...what was the first purple letter and what was the first blue letter?

He can't answer that. Not in a million years. You have caught him in a corner and there is nothing he can do to wiggle out. He has no choice now but to simply deny and ignore. He would rather put on his vest and go out and blow up some innocent women and children (and himself) than admit it.

P.S. Your gradual color changing text is brilliant! It demonstrates without any opportunity for denial, how evolution works!

What do you want? A duck transitioning into a crocodile?

Funny that, but it just so happens that we have just such a transitioning thing. It's called the Croc Billed Duckapus.



Here are its skeletal remains.

No, that would not work in your scenario nor in real life. Humans, trees etc. did not begin their evolution from the single cell.

I'm sure you folks do have those skeletal remains which were combined to make you think evolution is true. But in reality, it doesn't work that way. You see, it is actually you who are unwittingly making fun of your own evolution by believing a single cell evolved into a fish to a lizard to a chimp eventually to a human. Sorry but it doesn't work that way. That is impossible.

First principles Eusebius.

The fossil record shows a change in species over time. Humans exist now, they didn't in the past. Go back far enough and all you find in the fossil record are single celled organisms.

How do you explain this fact, other than through evolution?
