Evolution, really?

 Ok ok, I guess I've got to cover evolution. So, where to begin? How about some definitions? The first thing to define is macro-evolution, macro-evolution is the theory that one species evolves or changes into another species. Ok got it? Really simple. The last one is, micro-evolution, which is one species adapting to their environment, but are still the same species. Alright now we can get into it. One thing I find kind of interesting is that evolution is taught most public schools as fact..... But without any scientific evidence supporting it. No example ever found, nothing in the fossil record, and let's not even get into laboratory tests. Well, maybe we should. Let's look at all of the "proof" evolution exists. 1: Peppered moths. You all know him, you all love him, peppered moths are obviously conclusive evidence that there is evolution. Remember our definitions from earlier, that evolution is the theory that one species changes into another. So that is why the peppered moths are such a good proof of evolution. They changed from being a light moth, INTO... A darker month.... That's the same species.... Ummmm oops maybe not evolution. This would be an example of microevolution. Next!

Peppered moths are still.... peppered moths

I then decided to ask a biologist  what they think is proof of evolution. When I asked, all I had explained was the definitions we talked about earlier, and how we've observed only microevolution. Because it take to long too observe macroevolution. Then turning to fossil evidence, they then explained that the fossil record showed evolution over time.... but, "because the fossil record is so sparse (it doesn’t offer very good resolution of particular time periods because of the rare conditions required for fossils to form), we often only see the result of speciation rather than the process"  So, we see one species... and then another species... but because they look the same and are just a little different, we say that they evolved from each other? Well, that's my take on evolution. Hope you learned something, check out my other posts as well! And be sure to visit the UM website!! universalmodel.com
