Most evolutionists hinge on some belief about shared ancestry. This DOES NOT prove evolution. It's backwards. There is NO evidence for a working, functional evolution. And, in fact, all of the "evidence" for common ancestry can be attributed to common Design elements. If you can't solve the problem going forward, to where it actually becomes useful, and real, then you believe in a new age fairy tale, taken all together. A false religion of so-called science that is a DILLUSION. Fate is not without a sense of irony, I suppose. The Bible has always made the same claim about what it is, and where it comes from, and still stands firm on testable, repeatable, observable scientific phenomena.

There are no "transitional" species. Finding a fossil is like finding a lottery winner. There would be no way to see enough fossils to see the minor phenotypic changes that occur in populations over time.
But even if there were no fossils - your DNA proves evolution is true. We share most of our genetic code with the rest of the mammals. We can actually see viruses that inserted themselves into a germline cell (an egg or a sperm or an early embryo ) that we both have in us - that Chimpanzees have as well. But not the other great apes.
1 common ancestor got an infection with a herpes like virus - it encoded itself into a fertilized egg - and that animal - which would have looked very much like an ape - had some members of her offspring end up leading to humans, others into Chimpanzees. We know this would have been one person because the insertion point is random - its like winning the lottery too.
We can use those pieces of code as clocks too. There is a background rate of noise that accumulates in DNA that does not code for anything necessary. Because that virus did not code for anything and was not being activated - it slowly accumulated damage. That damage is inherited - so we can see damage paths diverge with different chimpanzee and human variants.
We can tell in this way that the the last common ancestor lived around 3 million years ago.
The only other way this could occur is if god is constructing the world to match the pattern that would naturally emerge if he was not there tweaking any knobs or doing anything.
This is how EVERY evolution believer frames it - looking backwards. There is ZERO evidence that anything CAN evolve. It's crazy, because you are forced to say that there is evidence we DID evolve. Effectively, you start a religious movement. So, you're fueling this nwo shit. That's the bigger picture here.
There's assumptions about retroviruses, which, according to logic, means they aren't the proof you want them to be, but I won't get into it unless you respond somewhere.
An organism itself does not evolve. Every individual is a snapshot in a long running movie of ancestors and descendants. But just like you are a little different from your children - and your children will be a little different from your grandchildren - over long stretches of time those differences build up.
With humans we are in an evolutionary block point right now. We cross breed far too much and have eliminated most of the natural selection pressures. There are no population pools that have the separation and selective pressures necessary and sustained long enough for there to be any extreme differences.
But we still have a great deal of variation. We have variable skin colors, eye colors, and body structures based on where our ancestors stayed when they left Africa.
White people have white skin because vitamin D deficiency causes immune systems not to function well and people with darker skin have worse performing immune systems in high latitudes. Innuits and Sami people avoided this by dietary intake of seal meat that contains high amounts of vitamin D.
The difference in races are the beginnings of speciation. If the North Koreans - for instance - kept their population internally breeding for a few thousand years or so - the rest of the humans and their code will drift to the point where they can no longer combine and create a viable organism. That is a speciation event.
For all intents and purposes - a Great Dane and a Chiahuahua have gone through speciation because they cannot naturally have viable offspring without human intervention. These are just variants of the dog prototype that human tribes hunted with thousands of years ago - artificially evolved to be very different types of animals.
Nature does the same thing.
