Stumble This | You should also watch “Scientific 'Theory' Explained (Evolution)” |
Evolution basics and a quick look at what some of the real findings over the last century have been. This explores the fossil record mostly, other and at least as important developments have been made in the area of genetics. Specifically in tracking common genetic markers between species to show heredity.

Stupid scientists with all their smart-talk and know-it-all attitudes...
The nylon-eating bacteria basically proved the entire thing. That's all you need to say. It's like maddox's "ok you like the matrix, but why did we have to see keanu reaves' ass?" it just trumps EVERYTHING.
Maybe I'll try to dig something up that goes more into the genetics side assuming someone doesn't beat me to it. Read a very cool article a while back which I'm sure was linked here in the first place, the proof on that end seems to me even more solid than the fossil record suggests. Rather than getting weaker over time as some suggest the "theory" just gets stronger. Fascinating 8 page article, a bit long but worth the time I thought.

While the rate of mutation of speciated DNA varies with the method of analysis, it can be fairly calibrated with the fossil record and, more recently, retroviral DNA insertion. These concepts are the "smoking gun" of common ancestry of modern humans/neanderthals/chimps/great apes. While bones and flesh decay, making the fossil record incomplete, DNA lives on.
It's right there, you can pick it up and read it. What is it about the creation story and genesis DON'T you people understand?
I don't have any friends who believe in creationism (at least not that I know of yet), but if I did, I'd be showing them this video.
Take THAT crocoduck boy...
