You ask in your post for a complete lineage with
quote:
ancestors that are 'different'
. Someone quite reasonably gave you the example of the highly detailed fossil record of horse evolution over 55 million years, and you dismiss it because the first example in the fossil sequence was
too horse-like!!!.
Lets go over that again, to demonstrate how unbelievable that logic is:
You want to be shown an example of an animal changing over time, with small changes resulting in a very different creature. But a very well documented case, which clearly shows a 20" fruit-eating animal, with an arched back, short snout, short neck and paws on the end of its' short legs changing over time to become the horses we love and lose money on today,
isn't good enough!!!
You make it sound like, if you had a Hyracotherium and a modern Equus alive and side-by-side today you'd look at them and go: "Yep, there's two horses there!", as if you had just been shown a Shetland pony and a carthorse.
Please, go and
actually look at the evidence.
how long can the Theory of Evolution hold up before evidence on the contrary is found. This is the ultimate test of any theory in science.
Er...you do actually know that the theory of evolution has been knocking around for quite a while now, don't you? And guess what, every new bit of evidence that arrives (including all those new transitional fossils that just keep on popping up and all that DNA evidence)
supports the theory. Sounds like its' been pretty rigorously tested to me.
