Marine invertebrates, mostly.

If macroevolution were possible (hint, it isn't), you would not have to look at fossils to find it, it would be happening all the time. Take fish for instance. Amongst the tens of millions of fish we pull out of the water every year, there would be some developing legs.

I don't see how it really matters, except to the individual. Regardless of one's beliefs, it changes nothing.

If there were any such thing as evolution why wouldn't monkeys have evolved, too. Why would some things remain trees, grass, dogs, cats....

After all, it is called the theory of evolution in acknowledgment that it is a hypothesis rather than a confirmed scientific fact.

The process that explains how a 250,000 pound airliner can go hurtling through the air thousands of feet above the ground at hundreds of miles per hour is know as the Theory of Flight. I guess that isn't confirmed science, either.

[evolutionists' interpretation of the fossil record, we see life beginning at the lowest levels with complex creatures, with elaborate organs and other features-but with no known ancestors. Life does not start as predicted by evolution, with simple forms gradually changing into more-complex species.]

Evolutionist faith demands that the creature be worshiped and not the creator and has been one of the many downfalls of civilaztions through out man's shord 6000 year history.
Let God be true and every man a liar.

The difference is that we can see the proof of flight science every day. Airplanes flying. But evolutionists can't ever show us proof of one animal turning into another. Only speculation.

Thought you'd like to post a link to this from your Catastrophism thread.

If it's 'proven' then why do those silly scientists insist on calling it a theory? Do you suppose it could be that they don't read the same websites you do?

If it's explained, varifiably, duplicated untold millions of times without variation to the basic concept (aerodynamics) .. it's not a theory.

Billions of dead things --> buried in rock layers --> laid down by water --> all over the earth.

They have.

Monkeys and apes have a common ancestor. Go back further, and you find a common ancestor for all mammals. From that ancestor evolved all the mammals we see today.

This is not a guess or conjecture; the evidence is massive. The only mystery is, why a few folks find it controversial.

You win. Clearly evolutionary science is right up there with flight science. That explains why there are so many people who don't believe that airplanes really fly.

I'm an agnostic about anything which I can't know empirically. Nonetheless, it is interesting that the Chimpanzee is the animal with which we share the most DNA commonality. The Whale is most closely related by DNA to the Hippo. Our ability to reason is the best tool we have to try and understand what we can about our existence. Meanwhile, a shot or two of Anejo tastes best when followed by a suck on a lime. Enjoy!
