Science relies on observation, evidence, and testing of hypotheses.

What part of evolution is observable and testable? Since it has "happened" primarily in the past - ???

29+ Evidences for Macroevolution. Yes, macro-evolution.

All present and fossilized animals found should conform to the standard evolutionary tree. And they do.
Fossilized intermediates should appear in the "correct" chronological order on the standard tree.
Many organisms should retain vestigial structures as structural remnants of lost functions.
Species that are more closely related should share a greater portion of their DNA.. Excerpt:

[A]n hypothesis of evolutionary relationships is provided by the fossil record, which indicates when particular types of organisms evolved. In addition, by examining the anatomical structures of fossils and of modern species, we can infer how closely species are related to each other. When degree of genetic similarity is compared with our ideas of evolutionary relationships based on fossils, a close match is evident.

Thank you, PH, for answer to LiteKeeper in your Post 646, while I was away from my computer.

It's the same argument over and over again, with the same players. Makes me very sad that no headway has been made in all these years. I am also quite uneasy that many seem to feel that evolution of species makes God something less than He really is.

I guess schools are not the only ones dumbing-down America.
