For the usual ad hominem attack on those who did the uncovering? That's your camp's usual defense, but it doesn't change the information gathered. Failing to read a rapist his rights, doesn't change what he did to a fellow human. Or, if we want to discuss frauds and forgeries, give me some more specifics on these "people" who did some of the uncovering.
What, pray tell, are you going on about here? Who the heck wants to attack the folks that exposed this hoax?

Can you show me fossil evidence that animals evolved from plants?
I'm quite sure nobody here can, as nobody here holds that hypothesis. Plants and animals each evolved from unicellular forms that were neither plant nor animal, and they did it a long time ago. There might be some geochemical evidence for such an ancestor, but fossils aren't too likely. There's a good bit of genetic evidence for their kinship, though.

Re: I believe in evolution
Mark 4 talks about that point exactly, no one will accept the gospel when they have hardhearts, however, their hearts just need to be plowed and prepared.
Plowing people's hearts is a felony here in Texas.

Give me an example of these better "genes" that have been accumulated.
Slow down for a minute, Miss, and look at the recent threads on this very forum, and you can find some.
Four examples in the human species, just off the top of my head, are the mutation in Northern Europeans that confers lactose tolerance in adults, the hemoglobin C mutation in the Mossi of West Africa, the Western European mutation from the days of the Black Death that makes carriers largely immune to AIDS, and the mutation in a village in Italy that makes cholesterol a non-issue WRT heart disease.
