In a discussion on Facebook, a young-earth creationist demanded \u201cobservable proof of macro-evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
I realized that the demand is rather akin to someone asking for observable proof of aging. Perhaps one can see \u201cmicro-aging\u201d as it occurs in one\u2019s cells. But what proof do you have that the younger person in the photo albums in your house has turned into the older person that you are now?<\/p>\n
Change happens \u2013 in the individual, in communities,\u00a0and yes, in species. We can trace the processes and the mechanisms by which the change occurs.<\/p>\n
And if you ask for \u201cproof\u201d that evolution has occurred, apart from the overwhelming genetic, paleontological, homological and other evidence, then you might as well be asking for \u201cproof\u201d that I have aged from the child to the teen to the young man to the now older man in the photos at the top of this post.<\/p>\n
Either you aren\u2019t seriously interested in the subject, or you haven\u2019t understood even the most basic aspects of what evolution is, what what scientists say\u00a0about it, and what the evidence for it is.<\/p>\n
