Your challenge fails.
Genetics and the nested hierarchy.
You don't have to have 100% knowledge in order to have evidence. That is the whole point about Dawkin's analogy.
Dogma does not count for anything.

Then his video fails my challenge, doesn't it?
I've allotted one inch of space for each piece of "mountains of evidence" you're claiming.
But it doesn't fit my prediction: which is that my challenge cannot be met with physical biological evidence.
And that's what counts.
You don't have to have 100% knowledge in order to have evidence.
I'm not asking for 100% knowledge.
Read it again. The series of events does have missing links. The defense attorney argues that the gaps between the video tapes somehow exonerates his client even though all of the evidence outside of the videos demonstrates that his client is guilty.
As Dawkins discusses in the rest of the article, fossils are just icing on the cake. If we didn't have a single fossil we would still have mountains of evidence demonstrating that evolution occurred. The same with the murder case.
100% of the evidence fits the predictions made by the theory of evolution.
Lots of murder cases and other cases have innocent people convicted.
Mountains of evidence = similarities between species and inferred conclusions about the evidence.
Are you asking me?So how much data does one need to have full confidence in a "Historical" event?
'Bout time you showed up!
Where you been?
Is this where truth and honesty breaks down with evols again? Where they can't accept the endless mistakes? Even Lucy was laughed at by dentists and medical professionals.Projection at it's finest.
Evolution works through selection which is the opposite of chance. Please learn about evolution before discussing it.
Oh I know how it works. The truth is, over 99% of mutations kill the offspring or leave it severely disabled. This leaves evolution with very little time, which it relies on so badly. You have not grasped what Dawkins is saying. He is saying that if a gene mutation is doing nothing, it will keep it if it knows that this mutation will be valuable in the future when other mutations occur. Oh, and yes, mutations are random and by chance. I'm not speaking of eye colour etc, these are not chance. Perhaps you can explain then why many insects haven't evolved over millions of years. Apart from size, a spider, millipede, mosquito, dragonfly etc etc are quite recognizable.
Yes, precisely how selection works.
Why is this a problem? The line between species is blurred because evolution is producing new species.
It's a problem because without true definition of a term used to categorize things, what hope is there? There isn't a true accepted definition for 'living' either.
Can you list the criteria you use to determine if two species belong to the same kind?
Hand on. You are asking me to list a criteria that determines if two species fits into the same kind, when species is not even defined? That's like asking me to list a criteria for invisible life forms to be fit into kind.
All of the evidence for evolution is observable. No faith needed.
Then name ONE you have observed. Just ONE case of Macro evolution you have personally observed.
Then show that the interpretation is wrong.
Oh come on, be honest please. There are countless times that interpretation has been wrong. Even the lineage of the horse was scrapped.
Empty claims. Where is your evidence that the hundreds of hominid transitional fossils are fakes?

Oh, they are still toting around Lucy as an exhibit as though she were some sort of hybrid human instead of the knuckle walker ape that she is.
She was ape .... so, are you.
Last time I looked I was a human, riding a motorcycle, wondering about life, and using a computer.
There are no apes here.

That's like:There are no apes here.
Are there any vertebrates here?
Are there any vertebrates here? What about mammals?
OK, so you are a motorcycle-riding, wondering, computer-using ape.
Sorry, those are not characteristics of animals. If so, name one that does any one of those things.
