Let me just start off by saying that evolution has about the same amount of evidence as any other religion does (maybe even less)... So, what convinced you of evolution over any other religion? Were you just brought up with the theory of evolution? Does it just make sense to you? Were you forced into it because you refused to believe in a deity? Or are you just one of those, "Scientists thought of it...It must be true" kind of people? Please post your response, because I am honestly quite curious.
Now, I, by no means am trying to come off as mean or disrespectful here, I am just honestly curious in what would convince someone that a theory with an extremely insignificant amount of evidence could be true.
What convinced me personally? Flatfish -- things like plaice. Their mouths are on sideways.
There’s a few other things too. See:
This website is frozen.
and
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent
for details.
Please explain any of these with your sad little religion. My religion is vastly superior to yours. It has evidence behind it, y’see. I insist you read that skim of the evidence. Absolutely insist, before you dare comment again. After all, if the amount of it is so insignificant, it won't take you long will it? And you'd then be able to post an informed opinion, rather than the steaming pile of doggy-doos you've so far contributed.
TTFN, DT

Coelacanth
and (as best as I can manage) it's see-lo-kanth
It’s nearer to see-luh-kanth, in fact, cos the middle letter’s an a: coelacanth (though a number of reutable websites get it wrong).
Spelling mnemonics abound, but try co-el-a- (like a weird koala, or to rhyme with Ms DeVille in 101 Dalmatians!) -canth.
