Show me an observable change of species in nature.  Not an adaptation ( Darwins finches), but a change from one species to another that we can observe today.


This read should help you out. Let me know if you have other questions

A lot of Christians in the bible belt would beg to differ haha. I came from Texas which was pretty bad.


disputing evolution in general is not the same as believing evolution but disputing our relation to chimps.

Did you know that people from Africa share 99.5% of their DNA with chimpanzees whereas Caucasians only share 98.5%? That's why black people are extremely athletic.

its never mentioned because it's not disputed anymore. religion and anthropocentrism has fooled many into thinking otherwise. humans are indeed primates and we are not as smart or important as society would have us believe.

So why do we not see chimps that are (rare candy used) evolving into humans today?

Are you trolling or is that a serious question?

I agree. It's actually quite obvious how animalistic we are. The fact that there are some that angrily deny it in spite of the evidence is proof of how new our species is at rational/logical thought. And I'm pretty sure that's a fallacious argument I just made, so even I am proof of that.

Evolution is driven by a process called natural selection, which can take millions of years. By the very definition of natural selection, one cannot observe their own species evolve.

the same reason we don't see polar bears evolving into snowmobiles.
