I am simply asking for one assertion that has been made by the theory of evolution that has been verified. Thats not too much to ask.

Before I attempt to respond to what I think is the substance of your question, please help me to understand what your position actually is. Are you currently of the belief that nothing about the theory of evolution that has been verified? In order to evaluate your response, I also need to ask a couple more questions: What is your current understanding of the theory of evolution? And what do you mean by "verified"?

After we clear that up, and assuming that really is your position (nothing verified), if one of us took the time and presented you with something, would it change your mind? Seriously, would it?

Without getting down too deep into the weeds, the basic idea of Evolution is that species evolved from other species. I understand that numerous books and articles have been written explaining how this happens. My problem is that it has never been verified that this actually happens, i.e., the laboratory evidence and fossil record are not convincing (at least not to me). That is my position. The theory has not been proven, and the burden of proof is on you and other supporters. What would it take to change my mind? Show some proof, not articles that make unverified assertions.

Also, you shouldn't assume that people who disagree with you are not being sincere. Reasonable people can disagree.
