Once again confusing adaptation with evolving. Wild pig becomes domestic pig is evolution? So did an amoeba become a fish that way?

If you want to lie to yourself that fake science is real that is your business but you still cannot name one transitory fossil because it does not exist.

Good shape? Do some research and you will find more and more scientists are moving away from it. Microbiology is proving random chance is impossible.

BTW where did life come from?

bray: "Once again confusing adaptation with evolving."

In scientific terms there's no difference whatever, they are precisely the same processes only the time scales may change -- short term vs. long term.

bray: "Wild pig becomes domestic pig is evolution?"

Sure, relatively short term, aka "micro-evolution".

bray: "So did an amoeba become a fish that way?"

No amoeba ever magically turned into a fish.
The first multi-celled animals appeared in the Cambrian "explosion" circa 550 million years ago.
Depending on how you define the word "fish" they first appear in the fossil record around 400 million years ago.

bray: "If you want to lie to yourself that fake science is real that is your business but you still cannot name one transitory fossil because it does not exist."

Every fossil without exception is "transitory" and you are free to lie to yourself all you wish, but facts are still facts.

bray: "Good shape?

Well... evolution theory today is a far cry from Darwin's day.
Darwin wrote a book or two on the subject, remarkably accurate considering he never understood the basic mechanisms.
So today details of evolution research would fill libraries and all of its basic features have been observed, meaning they are scientific facts.
Of course there are still controversies & scientific debates, but thousands of people work daily with the premises & details of evolution theory and none have ever falsified it.

As for "random chance" that's a matter of definitions -- what is truly "random"?
It appears to me that God's Universe is biased (or "rigged") towards life.

bray: "BTW where did life come from?"

Nobody knows for sure, there are no confirmed theories, just a number of ideas proposed.
Some researchers think abiogenesis is not impossible, others say no, there must have been a form of panspermia.
There are many books on the subject, here's one I've read:

The Vital Question: Energy, Evolution, and the Origins of Complex Life

I also recommend two other books, the first written by a scientist:

Evolution vs. Creationism: An Introduction 2nd Edition, Kindle Edition by Eugenie C. Scott

The second is written by a Christian:

Deliver Us From Evolution?: A Christian Biologist's In-Depth Look at the Evidence Reveals a Surprising Harmony Between Science and God by Aaron R Yilmaz:
