For those who don't believe in evolution...

It really isn't a debate, evolution is a fact. Its not subject to belief or disbelief, its reality. A scientific theory is a proven hypothesis. Evolution is a theory, just like Gravity, and Cells are "just a theory". Micro and Macro evolution are fake concepts invented by creationists in order to debunk it. Clearly, that did not work. Evolution has been directly observed in animals with short lifespans like fruit flies. If you are going to reject direct, peer reviewed observation, yet trust in the bible, or the Qur'an or any holy book. You are creating a double standard. The burden of proof is on us, and it has been met time and time again. Edit: Wow 2000 replies that's awesome Edit: I really love the responses, I can't believe we're over 3000 Edit: I'm gonna rewrite this post as I don't like the message it is portraying and some of the feedback it has received. I just don't personally like how it was wriited and the circumstances it was written in check back in a couple hours for the new one.

    Micro and macro evolution are not the same thing, but it's okay because it appears that lots of people make this mistake. Micro evolution is the change in allelic frequencies over time (example: B and b code for skin color. Over ten years the allelic freaquencies change from b=.50 B=.50 to B=.75 b=.25 in a population of desert nomads) . Macro evolution is the change in phenotypic variation for a select population of a species(example: genotypes(frequencies) code for phenotypes(individuals or whole numbers). Over 10 years the genotypic variation of the 100 desert nomads change from BB=.25 Bb=.5 bb=.25 or phenotypically BB=25 Bb=50 bb= 25 where B and b are codominant, BB codes for dark skin, Bb codes for tan skin and bb codes for white skin. In 10 years, the 100 individuals change to BB= .70 Bb=.3 bb= 0 or phenotypically BB=70 Bb=30 bb=0. This indicates directional selection for darker skin tone due to the environment.) welcome to population genetics 101. For the sake of the argument, the numbers do not match up for anyone who knows this and want to check this with Hardy-Weinburg. This is merely an example to teach people.
