If I could ask you to limit yourself to only one response, it would be appreciated. I'd prefer to have the contents of our discussion be in one central thread for ease of access. Thank you.

Well, these questions are simple enough to answer. First of all living things, including humans, are, in fact, continually evolving. Historical records even show, when compared to modern ones, that the average human height is increasing. The only reason it may seem like things are no longer evolving is because most people simply don't pay that much attention. However, those who actually study these sort of things and pay close attention to them can observe evolution as it occurs. There are many, many instances of this available for you to research. As for the cave paintings, that seems like a frivolous point to make considering they are paintings and are not reliably accurate representations to compare to modern species. If you really want to make the case that animals haven't evolved for the past 10,000 years you would need to compare something more in the realm of fossil remains.

Using the "Evolution is just a theory" argument is a terrible idea. It completely removes any possible credibility you might have on the subject and clear shows just how little the person knows about not only the theory of evolution, but science in general. Allow me to shed a little light; first of all, a scientific theory is far removed from the term 'theory' we use in everyday language. A scientific theory is an explanation for a natural phenomenon that incorporates and concurs with all relevant data and observations. That fact that evolution is still a theory after 150 years is actually a testament to just how strong of a theory it is. In addition the theory part of evolution only applies to natural selection as a mechanism for evolution. The idea that species change over time is, indeed, an observed fact.

The 'brilliant' Ray Comfort has a similar argument to this next question, in which he implies that a dog after evolving eyes, ears, etc. independently would then have to find a mate that evolved the exact same way at the exact time. All this does is should just how little the man knows about the subject he is attempting to disprove. Either that, or it shows just how intentionally dishonest he is about it. The fact of the matter is that while genetic mutations do occur on an individual level these mutations accumulate within the population and thus evolution occurs at the population level, eliminating the need for a mutated individual to find another mutated individual in order to pass the mutations. The mutation of the individual is such a small change that it can still reproduce with the other members of its population and pass on the mutations. So it’s the population that gradually changes into a new species, not the individual. This process is called ‘speciation’ which can happen in several different ways that you can research for yourself. This has also been observed both in laboratories and in nature, instances of which you can also research.

I already partially answered the “why are there species that haven’t evolved?” question above, though I might extend on that with the concept of Punctual Equilibrium, which proposes that evolution occurs in spurts of relatively rapid change in a species during times of environmental change followed by a period in which the species becomes adapted to its environment and remains relatively unchanged until the next environmental shift. This could be why some species don’t appear to be evolving. If you get a bit more specific and tell me a few of the species that you’re referring to, feel free to do so.

As for your Christian beliefs, I don’t care to take those away from you. I don’t care if people choose to believe that sort of thing or not. All I care about is that people get the truth of about scientific facts. That being said there is plenty of DNA evidence supporting evolution. One of my favorites is the existence of ERVs (Endogenous Retro Viruses). When a creature is infected with a virus, the virus injects its own DNA into that of the host. The site where this occurs creates unique markers in the creatures DNA. These markers are then passed down from generation to generation and will always be present the DNA of its decedents. We can use these ERV markers to determine the lineage and common ancestry of a species. The more markers a species has in common with another the more recent the divergence of the two species from their common ancestor. A good example of this can be found in comparing our DNA with that of chimpanzees and other great apes. The human genome contains as many as 98,000 ERVs most of which we find in the exact locations in the DNA of the other great apes. This is irrefutable evidence in support of evolution as the odds of this happening by coincidence are so vast that it is statistically impossible for it to have happened by any other means than evolution. A few other examples that are my particular favorites are the emergences of genes that allow some bacteria to produce enzymes that can digest nylon, a man-made substance, and genes that allow a species of mold to feed off gamma rays given off by nuclear power plants. To be perfectly honest there is just so much evidence in support of evidence that it makes it hard to believe that anyone could know about it and still deny the fact of evolution. If you have any further questions let me know and I’ll try to answer them to the best of my ability.
