I am a farm boy so I understand evolution, I think. You can improve livestock by selective breeding. You can improve seeds by selective pollination. I have evolved from a strong agile youth to a dotting old fool.
No, that's not evolution. That's just aging.
Individuals do not evolve; populations do.

But I have never seen nor has anyone ever been able to show me one piece of evidence of macro evolution (one species becoming another species).
There is lots of evidence (though off-topic for this thread) of speciation. There is so much of it that even the major Creation "science" organizations no longer deny that speciation occurs.
If you would like to propose a thread to discuss the evidence for speciation, I would be delighted to participate.

I believe that true science is true. I believe that theories are just that, whether it is one man's opinion or millions.
FYI, the way scientists use the word "theory" is different from the layman's use of the word.
Scientific "theories" are not just somebody's "opinion". They are, in fact, very well-supported explanations of facts.
For example, we have the Atomic Theory of Matter, Gravitational Theory, the Germ Theory of Disease, and the Theory of a Heliocentric Solar System.
Do you consider any of these ideas mere "opinions"?
But again, all of this is off topic for this thread. If you would like to propose a thread to discuss how science works (which I think you would benefit from), please do so and I'd be there to participate.
