can you prove evolution to me !!!

First, you should use question marks for questions .... but so much for the grammar police statement.

Here's another thought on evolution

Nylon : Invented : 1930's .... roughly

In 1975 a team of Japanese scientists discovered a strain of Flavobacterium living in ponds containing waste water from a factory producing nylon that was capable of digesting certain byproducts of nylon-6 manufacture, such as, 6-aminohexanoate linear dimer, even though those byproducts had not existed prior to the invention of nylon in 1935. Further study revealed that the three enzymes the bacteria were using to digest the byproducts were novel, significantly different than any other enzymes produced by other Flavobacterium strains (or any other bacteria for that matter), and not effective on any other material other than the man made nylon byproducts. [1] This strain of Flavobacterium, Sp. K172, became popularly known as nylon eating bacteria, and the enzymes were collectively known as nylonase.

This is Answers in Genesis analysis of Flavobacterium :

The adaptation of bacteria to feeding on nylon waste

Apologists for materialism latched onto these findings as an example of evolution of new information by random mutations and natural selection, for example, Thwaites in 1985.4 Thwaites’ claims have been repeated by many, without updating or critical evaluation, since.

Is the evidence consistent with random mutations generating the new genes?

Thwaites claimed that the new enzyme arose through a frame shift mutation. He based this on a research paper published the previous year where this was suggested.5 If this were the case, the production of an enzyme would indeed be a fortuitous result, attributable to ‘pure chance’. However, there are good reasons to doubt the claim that this is an example of random mutations and natural selection generating new enzymes, quite aside from the extreme improbability of such coming about by chance.6

But how do they know those byproducts (or similar) never existed before 1935? The truth is they do not know. Therefore the Flavobacterium could have incorporated something that was already inherent in it, but dormant.

This is probably a good example to the bias that is inherent in many a evolutionist based scientist.

Well maybe you’ve found the missing link with your example here.My suggestion, submit it to the scientific community and see what happens.Who knows,maybe there’s a Nobel in the future for you. As for your grammar policing,don’t worry cause I’ve been called out by just about every type of police (language police,partisan police etc.) that frequents this website !?@!*?#
