The ToE and common ancestry of all life forms did not come from looking at the evidence

So a lizard will always be a lizard right?
No, not always. Any new species within the group of lizards will be. It is possible that a million years from now there would be a species descended from a species descended from a species that would be different enough to be classified apart from lizards. But any single new arrival will be a lizard.

Really? I have yet to see any offered?

I can see gravity work in my own life. How can I observe evolution happening in my own life?

Again, something I can see and test myself.

Can you observe "evolution" in your own personal life?

OMG Seriously!!!!

Can you observe animals spontatneously popping in from nowhere in your daily life?

That's adaptation.

So again, why is it that we see -zero- evidence of this in current history?

So again, you believe monkeys gave rise to humans? Human beings evolved from monkeys! :D Hahahahaha!

No. Humans and monkeys both descended from a common ancestor. Human beings did not evolve from monkeys, and monkeys didn't evolve from human beings. Did you notice that you're the only one laughing?

Well, you can use a word to mean whatever you want, but don't expect to be understood. When new species arise from old, Biologists, and people who know a little Biology, call that evolution.

Do you agree or disagree that new species arise from old in the way described?

So again, why is it that we see -zero- evidence of this in current history?
Again, we don't. We see mountains of it.

IS IT YOUR POSITION THAT NO NEW SPECIES EVER ARISE?

Just out of curiously, RND, were you raised without manners, or are you being deliberately rude by ignoring my reasonable, polite question?

That's hair-splitting frankly. What was the common ancestor? Usually it's depicted as a monkey.

Human beings did not evolve from monkeys, and monkeys didn't evolve from human beings. Did you notice that you're the only one laughing?
Yes, I did notice I'm the only one laughing. And that's the irony frankly. You believe this stuff.

No, it's a huge difference.

Yup. Me, the entire field of Biology, and the rest of the educated world. Hilarious, isn't it?

In other words you have not clicked any of the provided links to evidence or read any of the posts containing evidence. Have you watched that video yet? It's only a few minutes long. A small child could understand it.

I can see gravity work in my own life. How can I observe evolution happening in my own life?

You could take your fingers out of your ears and take the blinders off.

Can you observe "evolution" in your own personal life?

Yes, if you are a biologist, or an epidemiologist, or a virologist, or a student in any of these disciplines, or know a biologist or biology student who is willing to give you a tour of his lab, or are willing to watch a documentary or read a book describing the wonderful and astonishing things these people have observed.

It's never depicted as a monkey. and you believe in magical poppycock!

Here's what I'm trying to find out. Are you saying that every species now on earth has existed in its present form since some point in the ancient past? Or do you agree that we get new species that never before existed?

I've answered each and everyone of your requests as best as possible. When your are the lone reasonable mind in the discussion getting queried from all sides it's easy to miss a comment here and there.

Question: How did manners evolve? Did monkeys have that as part of their DNA?
