It has not happen yet. You do not know.
All you have is a faith, which, according to you, is foolish.
Examples have already been posted in this forum.

If you wish, you can check for yourself whether or not they represent widely accepted knowledge - you wouldn't want to take Brightmoon's or my word for it, would you? Isn't faith is better reserved for things that can't be checked?

Of course, you can always claim that any knowledge you would rather not be true is fake, wrong, or a conspiracy, but then it would be your word (some bloke on the internet with a demonstrably poor knowledge of the subject) against verifiable scientific fact... Which version do you think a reasonable person should consider more likely to be factual?

Plants do everything that animals do . They eat ,they drink, they reproduce , they go to sleep at night;plants do respond strongly to being eaten despite some ignorant people thinking that they are just passive green stuff. They can also communicate with others plants of the same species and with insects. Yes I did mean communicate . Plants use pheromones to let other plants know that they have been attacked by bacteria fungi or insects and animals. They can also use pheromones to summon insect predators to get the bugs off .

humans and other animals are distant relatives of plants and green algae. All of the eucaryotes are related; aside from plants and animals(including humans), this includes the unicellular Protista and fungi

I got that impression too from someone who actually told me that T. rex and other carnivores ate plants before the fall. When I finally stopped guffawing I was able to question him further

Blanket denial for no apparent reason . That’s your answer to plants being related distant cousins because they are eucaryotes like animals, fungi, and protists

That may have been the case thousands of year ago, but today we can determine exactly what the case is.

And the exact same goes for the "appearance of design" in living things.
Today, we can determine exactly what the case is.

... I never see that happen, no report either.


We discovered DNA in the 1950s
Genetic manipulation is even more recent.

So you are complaining about not having examples of species whose genetics were artificially modified by us, that survived for a 100 years, while the genetic manipulation technology is only a few decades old?

Okay then.

Atheism is a belief that gods and/or goddesses don’t exist

It's not, actually.

Atheism is a position on the theistic claim "god exists".
It is not the claim that gods do not exist.

Which has nothing to do with a directly observed phenomenon like evolution

That most certainly is correct.
