I just told you where the proof was. You said There is just no evidence of one species evolving into a completely different species."

As I pointed out, there is indeed such evidence. Ring species show speciation in action, where a common ancestor is slowly evolving into two separate species. An example is the Ensatina salamander, where the intermediate populations are evident:

"These two forms are connected by a chain of populations to the north that encircles the Central Valley of California, and through this ring of populations the color patterns of the salamanders change gradually."

So you have the evidence, with the intermediate forms still existing. Speciation in action.

I’m so glad someone is trying to persuade with evidence instead of insults and arrogance. I do appreciate that.

As far as my point, Even if there is some small form of what scientists are labeling evolution there is nothing on a broad scale. I could buy some environmental evolution and even some lower animal species change. I certainly don’t claim to know it all unlike your evolutionary brethren on this post. However out of all the supposedly millions of years of fossil data we have to dig through there is zero wide evidence of species carrying on from one to the next. With all there is in the world and all we have discovered, isn’t it a bit like believing in alien life? I may believe there is a chance because of various human arguments (and I don’t) but the evidence is only anecdotal so it is just that... a belief.
