Essay:Evidence of Evolution (view source)
Revision as of 17:22, April 8, 2008
, 17:22, April 8, 2008ngenious hypothetical scenarios for the evolution of complex adaptations can neither be tested experimentally nor supported by fossil histories.
'''Evidence of evolution''' comes in many shapes and forms, from [[empiricism|empirical]] evidence from the past such as [[fossil]]s to more recent [[DNA technology]] and other biochemical methods, which have provided molecular evidence for [[common descent]]. Other lines of evidence come from [[biogeography|geographical distribution]], [[comparative anatomy]], [[computer simulation]], and direct cases of evolution and [[speciation]] occurring at present, such as [[antibiotic resistance]]. Even so, many people still object to the [[theory of evolution]].

* Ingenious hypothetical scenarios for the evolution of complex adaptations are presented to the public virtually as fact, but skeptics within science derisively call them “just-so” stories, because they can neither be tested experimentally nor supported by fossil histories.
