well said stammer, evolution is the way animals adapt to their envirement, and it is based on scientific evidence. Here is just one example, I have been using this example very often in the past few days. A species of birds is living on an island. Most of them have lots and lots of feathers, but due to a genetic anomaly, 1% are born with very few feathers. As temperature rises due to global warming, the birds with more feathers will die out while birds with less feathers will survive, and reproduce. Birds that have favorable traits that enable them to adapt to the envirement will survive, and over time, millions of years possibly, the birds will be so different from their many feathered anscestors that many will claim the two have no relation to each other. Sound familiar?
