Proving evolution is easy. ........
I don't claim any expertise but why do bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics? Isn't that an example of beneficial evolution?
If we want to watch evolution in progress, it makes far more sense to watch a fast breeding organism such as a bacterium. Armed with that thought, I Googled it and found umpteen examples of evolution being observed in action. This is one of the easiest to understand and seems to me to prove the process of evolution.
http://www.pnas.org/content/105/23/7899 Given that we can actually see that process before our very eyes, why do people question the process as a whole? It seems like a terrible lack of imagination, almost like: 2+2=4 but does that work with other numbers? 20+20=40, Oh yes, that works. 200+200=400, Oh, yes so it does.... after that do you really need to keep asking the same question?
Harping back to an earlier thread concerning single cell organisms which clump into multi-cell organisms and back again, that process does work in an irreversible manner with Pandorina, Eudorina and Volvox. Apart from their genes, the cells of all three organisms are identical but they never revert back to a simpler organism. OK, that's not
entirely proof of evolution but it takes little imagination to understand that once upon a time there was only Pandorina and something even simpler before that, at some stage, during asexual reproduction, they did not split away and the more complex form came into existence.
I apologise for any spelling mistakes, I am dragging up these half forgotten names from my school days - 60 years ago.
