Just so I can understand your stance about evolution.

Okay i shall make this my last post.
I beleive in kinds. Cats, dogs, horses, birds and etc.
Now i beleive variation can occur within these kinds and it is welll observed, i have no trouble with that.
What i don't beleive is that one kind can change into another, and this has never been observed. Nor is there enough fossils to prove it.
I beleive a cat gives birth to cat, and dog gives birth to a dog.
I think you are still failing to understand how evolution works, despite it being explained to you several times.First of all, animal species becoming other species has been observed in the fossil record, that is a fact. If you wish, I can show you examples, just ask.
Your statement "I believe a cat gives birth to cat, and dog gives birth to a dog" suggests that you don't understand the basis of how evolution works, so here's an explanation again;
Species adapt to their environment based upon what genes are more favorable, for example in cold weather, large amounts of body fat and hair are favored over less, and thus a species with better genes allowing for these traits is more likely to survive and pass on it's genes, while genes that the environment do not favor are likely to become increasingly scarce and eventually disappear. Over time, these small changes can warent being a species being described by an entirely different name. It has become another species. That's how evolution works in a nutshell.
But its still kind, its not a different one. Small changes over time will change the appearence but it's still the same kind. I agree with Micro which is variation and adaption. Not macro, they don't become a new kind.
You may not beleive in Kinds but i do.
I think you mean "species" not "kind"Large changes over time do produce different species, it's been observed in the fossil record.
Enough minor changes from generation to generation, and over thousands of years, the species will have an entirely different look. Simple examples being chimps and humans. We have a common ancestor, but over millions of years, there have been so many minor variations, that we are entirely different species.
and "macro evolution" isn't a term used by biologists
No i mean "kind" Kind meaning a dog will always give birth to a dog, even if it looks different its still a dog. it didn't evolve into a cat (Just using that as an example not saying its evolution)
No the fossil record is just interpretation of evidence. I can look at it and say, so what?
I beleive in Micro, small changes over time and yes it will become another type of dog or cat, but its still the same kind.
define "kind"and yes, the fossil record CLEARLY supports evolution
I shouldnt need to define kind, since it is so basic and simple a three year old should know.
But i shall do so anyway.
A dog gives birth to a dog, it may be different(say bigger with green hair). But it doesnt change the kind. You may not beleive in it, but i do. And Kind is a fact actually, as we see it all the time.
"a three year old can understand it" yes, an elementary schooler should be able to realize after only a few weeks in a life science class that "kind" is not a scientific term. but then again, in my country, science education sucks ass. second, a dog will always give birth to a dog because all ancestors of that species will be in the canine taxa.
But it doesnt change kind... its still a dog. Whats your point?
And if you don't understand the word kind go read a dictionary, you don't need science to observe kinds and know they are the same.
kind is not a scientific term. it is a kingdom?
is it a phylum?
is it a class?
is it an order?
Is it a family?
Is it a genus?
is it a species?
Doesnt need to be scientific to be real though...
