Ok please explain evolution in full, since "i clearly don't understand it".
You don't.

Ok please explain evolution in full, since "i clearly don't understand it".
Could you please show me the reports of these observations.
I am an evolutionist. I never claimed that. I believe that God created the Universe.crhodes9898 said:All you evolutionists can do is claim that the universe came from "nothing".
I am leading towards that God is a deity that we are completely misinterpreting.I am an evolutionist. I never claimed that. I believe that God created the Universe.
I agree Creationism is faith based, and requires some faith to work, however Evolution (having to do with the Big Bang, and the idea that humans evolved from a common ancestor) is just as religious as Creation, except creation makes more logical sense that Evolution.
You see, there are 6 definitions of Evolution...
First Cosmic Evolution; the origin of time, space, and matter, (i.e Big Bang). Secondly, Chemical Evolution; the origin of higher elements from hydrogen. Thirdly, Stellar and Planetary evolution; origin of stars and planets. Fourthly, Organic Evolution; origin of life. Fifthly Macro-Evolution; Changing from one kind of animal to another. And lastly Micro-Evolution; Variations within kinds. These first five, are purely religious and have never been observed.
The last one, Micro-Evolution, is the only correct one and has been observed.
So when people state that I do not understand evolution or I am completely off topic, well then I think that they need to go ahead and actually look at what i am saying; and not use that excuse of me not "understanding" evolution.
No there are not, and certainly not the six definitions you list. And no you do not get to redefine a scientific theory just so you can make it look silly.You see, there are 6 definitions of Evolution...
No, they are four distinct species of canines. Not variations, four distinct species.
There are over 30000 different SPECIES of fruit fly. Not 'types', SPECIES.
There are four species of canines, and TWO SPECIES OF DOGS. The domestic dog, Canis Familiaris is a different species to the African Hunting dog, Lycaon pictus. Not variations of the same species, they are two distinct species and can not interbreed.
That process, where one species diverges into two has been observed - many times.
Look into cladograms and taxonomic systems.Ok, I would agree somewhat, however the word you use "species", to me refers to a completely different type of animal. I would call it a kind or type within a species, because where do you draw the line of what is dog type a vs dog type b. Where do you draw the line of which one goes where?
Biological life doesn't provide perfect lines between species. There is no automatic natural categorization or grouping of life forms. Within the same social group of individuals there is a huge variation of the genetic material. You don't have the same genes that I do. There's a reason to why DNA testing can be used in criminal cases... Did you ever think about that?Now i have heard people use the idea of a different number of chromosomes. Such as a chimp with 48 and we have 46.
People with down syndrome have one extra chromosome 21. So if you were to go up to a kid's mother that had down syndrome and say that their kid was a different species, she would probably get ****** at you. So were can you draw the line from which species is which?
First of all, that's not how evolution is said to work. It doesn't change overnight from one species to another, and especially not on that large degree you're talking about.However what i was addressing was that there has never been an observation of speciation of something greater. Such as bacteria changing into human beings. Which is the idea of how we evolved.

Sometimes you can't: ring speciesSo were can you draw the line from which species is which?
These are just guess estimates of things with similar traits, it doesn't mean they are related to a common ancestor. And this doesn't show the split where it turns from one species to another.
Sometimes you can't:
There isn't even a consensus on what should define a species. Using reproductive compatibility as a measure only works with organisms that sexually reproduce, for example. Many do not and therefore cannot be classified using that definition. At the end of the day, "species" is a man-made term that is used for convenience in many situations but is not something that exists objectively.
Did you observe Paul write the letters? Or Matthew? Therefore Jesus didn't exist.Um, yea I've thought about that, and its not the first time I've heard of this either.
I wasn't referring it to have to happen overnight, i was referring to the fact that no one has made an observation of this, so it is such a skeptical and broad thought.

No, chromosome numbers have absolutely nothing to do with it, the line is drawn between closely realated varieties that have become different enough from each other to no longer be able to breed and produce fertile offspring. Before basically calling the entire science of biology a fraud, you could have looked up the relevant words and at least known what they mean.I would call it a kind or type within a species, because where do you draw the line of what is dog type a vs dog type b. Where do you draw the line of which one goes where?

A bacteria changing into a human being would DISprove evolution and prove Harry Potter.However what i was addressing was that there has never been an observation of speciation of something greater. Such as bacteria changing into human beings. Which is the idea of how we evolved.

These are not new species, these are variations of kinds within species.
You can have a different type of fruit fly, but yet it is still a fruit fly.
You can have a different type of dog, but yet it is still a dog.
