Evidence 3: Vestigial structures in animals
Just as evolution can, over time, create new structures in animals, it can also eliminate structures that are no longer necessary. For example, the fossil record shows that whales evolved from mammals that returned to an aquatic lifestyle. However, the whale still grows "legs" in a way, but they are stunted and remained internal in the animals. Snakes are the same way. Both snakes and whales have vestigial pelvises, which cannot be easily explained without the idea that the animals evolved from ancestors that had legs.
Prediction: no species will have a vestigial structure that was not present in its ancestral species
Falsification: since birds (and feathers) evolved on a separate ancestral line than mammals, finding vestigial feathers on a mammal would falsify common descent. We should never find any invertebrates with vestigial backbones, and we should never find reptiles or birds with vestigial mammary glands. We do, however, find vestigial structures in many types of animals, but none that would falsify evolution.
This is one of the most ridiculous holes in the theory of evolution.
1st Off:There is 0% PROOF that any of this occured.
2nd: It is LOSING and not ganing which is the opposite of evolution!
