Anti-Science Coming From The Left

The theory of evolution is real. Don't get it twisted.

Man-made global warming? Questionable

Evolution is very much the real deal.

It is a theory that has been studied for well over 160 years. There were even a number of pre-Darwin thinkers and scientists that came up with similar observations. We can tell from carbon dating and radioactive decay that the Earth over 4.4 billion years old. We have observed single celled organisms evolved in the laboratory into completely new organisms and we have seen those mutations evolve as well. The original life form on Earth (also known as the Last Universal Ancestor) that eventually spawned ALL life on Earth is estimated to have existed over 3 billion years ago and when you do the math you can see how life slowly evolved into literally tens of millions of different species.

What experiment has shown one species involve into another? I know that it you look at certain bacteria over tens of thousands of generations you can see some different traits, but I've never heard of an observation that shows one species changing into a completely new species. I'm not saying macro evolution doesn't happen because I think that it does, but I question the current idea that it happens through a series of random mutations, sexual selection and genetic drift.

When you get right down to it, even the Bible story of creation moves from simple to complex.
