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.

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.

You posted that you wanted proof of speciation, and I've provided it. Now you are saying that despite being given the evidence you asked for, it's not sufficient.

Accepting the theory of evolution is not a matter of "belief," it's a matter of looking at the evidence.

“Accepting the theory of evolution is not a matter of “belief,” it’s a matter of looking at the evidence.”

I think I’ve been very clear. There is no widespread evolution and there is not evidence of it. I have also explained I don’t know everything there is to know about it, but what I do know is that there is little to no current evidence of any past species to species change. Let’s discount the fossil record. There is not sufficient evidence of species evolving into another species among the current surviving species groups. You would have to believe there are scores of animals and mutations of animals hiding in plain view to strain the imagination to that point. The faith comes in when you can look at a man and a monkey, see absolutely no intermediate species and assume evolution. Call it what you will, but that is faith.

Because you post an example on a minute scale of what is being called evolution you expect me to completely abandon reason? Again, I appreciate the heck out of the example and the discussion, but I would need more proof based on the tremendous implications of evolution. People who wish to believe need far less proof. That is the definition of faith.
