If evolution is true...

So you're saying evolution doesn't occur then?
Tsk. Quote mining. The favourite tactic of evilushoenists.

Get back to me when you see a shoe turning into a monkey. And furthermore, if there are shoes, why are there still monkeys? Huh?

But there *is* a conspiracy. The evocobblers are afraid they'll lose their funding and leather uppers if the truth (er... sorry, that should be "TRUTH") ever gets out.

Because the rate at which monkeys evolve into shoes is equal to the rate at which shoes evolve into monkeys, forming a shoe-monkey equilibrium.

But that's not evolution - that's DEvolution, which proves that it's a lie and a fraud and a conspiracy and evil and a lie. Plus, there are no transishoenals, excpet one with was a fraud and turned out to be a pig's shoe!

Simple, that's just micro-shoevolution. Macro-shoevolution has never been proven and is a lie anyways. Shoes can't shoevolve beyond size 9 and that is a proven fact. So there!

i have proof of macro-evolution!
1. a basic pre-shoe, or pseudo-shoe.
2. here you see a few variations, or micro-evolution progressions of the above.

the one at the top seems to have branched off again into 2 variants, 3 and 4.
5. it is possible they have cross-bred to produce this taller variant.
6. this has turned into an extreme. clearly, 6 and 1 are no longer compatible with each other, and thus we have a new species.

A monkey evolving into a shoe is evolution. The fact that some shoes are devolving into monkeys is irrelevant. Besides, there clearly are are transishoenals: brown furry shoes, for example.

There's a clear transition between sandals and loafers. It couldn't be any more clear.

What's this? Ring speshoes?

So are you claiming that each speshoe can interbreed with it's immediate neighbour, but not with the extremes?

But it's still a SHOE!

No-one has found a shoe with a cute furry face and a tail, have they? Shoes that swing from branch to branch?

Your pretty pictures don't impress me. Next thing you'll do, no doubt, is post a picture of a handbag and one of a shoulder bag and claim that that proves relatedness.

Pshaw!

I repeat, pshaw!

But what about developments like gaitors, leggings, crampons (that might be the spikes, not the bladed attachments) and shoephones (hello Agent 99)? None of those things were part of the original sandal/fur foot wrap. Where did they comes from?
