This is evolution in progress

Thank you for clarification.
This is evolution in progress
And if I understand it correctly, much of Darwin's observations were also of "in progress". And no one is likely to live long enough to witness a complete evolution.

Axolotl is a good example of a transition species.

Their is no proof of missing links of humans evolving over thousands of years, the missing links that have been shown have at a later date been proven to be forgeries.
I have looked into evolution and their is not a shred of evidence to prove it, the big question being why has nothing evolved since we have been observing the planets creatures.
Evolution uses science to explain evolution without a shred of evidence,
and those that beleive in evolution (because it is a beleif and takes faith to beleive it) is no different to someone beleiving in god.
Seriously ive researched it and read the books, ive read books of scientists saying why its real and yet others saying why it is impossible.
Evolution is a beleif sytem and a "theory" not yet proven, so those that beleive in it are hypocrites to mock people that beleive in god. Just thought id add that as people love denying ALL the scientific evidence against evolution.
I think there is a good bet that we human's have indeed caused a serious increase in global temperature, we are not going to turn earth into another Venus however, also the burning of fossil fuels though in the short term potentially ecologically catastrous is actually merely putting back what has been taken out of the carbon cycle by lower geological activity and the carbon sump of the then buried remnant's of the past ecosystem not being released back into the atmosphere.
Back in the old days of dinosaurs there was a certain amount of gross carbon and hydrogen on the surface of the planet and in the atmosphere. It was unlikely that humans would have evolved or lived long in that environment. Some cataclysm caused a vast amount of the gross carbon and hydrogen to be buried under the earth, removing them from the net above ground quantity. Humans evolved in that environment.
By pulling the hydrocarbons from the earth and burning them, humans are effectively returning the Earth's surface and atmosphere to pre-human conditions. Perhaps those pre-human conditions will not be conducive to human existence.

So, you say the book of faith isn't science. And you say the theory of evolution isn't science. What is the theory of evolution? What is faith?

Why do you assume everyone who disagrees with you are atheist? you throw that around like an insult btw.

So, I don't care if you believe in thr bible, I asked for empirical evidence for evolution, leave your pet problems at the door and discuss the science of evolution
Why is it the average atheist will do anything possible to change the nature of the question, the thread, ignore the main point, side track at every possibility, leave silly comments and ignore the subject completely.
