You said speciation IS evolution. I realize that speciation has been used to try to give evidence for evolution. I understand evolution quite well. That is the reason that I eventually rejected it.
“As far as this entire “historical” science thing how do they ever obtain a convection of a crime with no eye witness?”
A fresh crime scene is far different for scientific purposes. Why do you think they tape it off and don’t want the scene contaminated?. Any intrusion in the scene can lead to false evidence left there and an incorrect conclusion. However, even with all this caution, incorrect conclusions can still be obtained. A crime can be reconstructed with enough information. How much intrusion upon the scene do you think happens over “millions” of years. ‘
I am not saying that things in the past can’t be studied, I am saying that our worldview directs our conclusions about what we see. Your bias keeps you from admitting this. You want and need to believe that evolution has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt. However, alot of reasonable people have studied it and come away with a different conclusion than yours.
It is not a matter of “believing” evolution is a fact, it is a matter of accepting the overwhelming evidence supporting the fact of a common ancestor.
Which for whatever reason you are unable to do.
