Well, no, the finches demonstration variation within species and adaptation to environment. Evolution posits a change from one species to another. Despite the change from beak to beak of Darwin's finches, they're still recognizably finches. I think what the author is asking for is an example of something that is clearly in the process of evolutionary change. In other words, show him a reptile that has developed the ear of a mammal.

I must warn you, though, that no example will be good enough for a creationist, just as no hard-core evolutionist is ever going to accept the possibility of special creation.

Personally, I think God created the earth, but that He did it through organic means. Creation can be reconciled with evolution but, once again, you're not going to get the zealots on either side to admit that.

I completely agree, which is why I tend to skip over these threads. But sometimes I can't help myself.

First of all : "Creation can be reconciled with evolution"
No it can't.

[Tigercap]

Yes, there are small variations within species. But there are NO examples of evolution between species - from one to another - that is much different.

No, I believe there's no such thing as "variation within species to adapt to the environment". If there was such a variation, then that would be a proof for evolution.

You are flat-out, 100% CORRECT on that!

I think what the author is asking for is an example of something that is clearly in the process of evolutionary change.

How is this possible when the process can take millions of years and our frame of reference is a 70 year lifetime that conditions us to be unable to comprehend such geologic timescales?

Natural selection/evolution will be proven when a serious experiment is undertaken and completed in another couple million years. Then we'll have the proof. Until then...
