Evolution did happen

Natural Selection - the process by which forms of life having traits that better enable them to adapt to specific environmental pressures, as predators, changes in climate, or competition for food or mates, will tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers than others of their kind, thus ensuring the perpetuation of those favorable traits in succeeding generations. Now, for my first bit of evidence I will point to the artificial selection of the samurai crab. If I may take direct quotes from discoveries website. "Many times a species is forced to make changes as a direct result of human progress. Such is the case with the peppered moth (Biston betularia). Up until the Industrial Revolution, these moths were typically whitish in color with black spots, although they were found in a variety of shades. As the Industrial Revolution reached its peak, the air in London became full of soot, and the once-white trees and buildings that moths used for camouflage became stained black. The birds began to eat more of the lighter-colored moths because they were more easily spotted than the darker ones. Over the course of a few months, dark moths started appearing in the area and lighter moths became scarce. Once the Industrial Revolution peak passed, lighter moths made a comeback." (Source at the end) Here is a picture of the incredibly beautifully selected peppered moth. http://www.empiricalzeal.com... One more example from Discovery's beautiful list. "Lactose intolerance is one example of natural selection. We are the only species that doesn't become lactose intolerant as we grow up. According to experts, this seemed to have happened when cattle became domesticated in Europe centuries ago [source: Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard]. Another example is the sickle hemoglobin gene, which occurs in people who live in certain regions of Africa and other areas where malaria is endemic. This gene mutation makes people who have it more resistant to malaria. While they can still contract the disease, they are less likely to die from it. The mutation probably happened over hundreds of generations as a result of the constant exposure to malaria and people contracting and surviving it [source: Harvard University]." (source at the end) So as you can see, there is monumental evidence for the case of natural selection, small mutations that benefit a species can and will be more prominent among said species. Now, the evidence for natural selection can also be seen in artificial selection. Of course artificial selection is the selection of certain traits by humans, but it is not so different from natural selection. In most cases of artificial selection, humans can be viewed as the guiding hand of an animals natural selection because we are the ones that determine whether said animal lives or dies. Examples of artificial selection are seen throughout history, this is why we have a great abundance and different kinds of domesticated dogs. This is also why specially farmed cows have such great abundance and choice cuts of meat. We have artificially selected many different kinds of cows to fit our needs, some cows are only good for giving milk, and some are only good for providing meat. Here is a picture of primitive corn, compared to today's artificially selected corn - http://www.learner.org... As you can see, there is more abundance of food on the artificially selected corn. In artificial selection, humans are the guiding hand, in natural selection, nature is the hand that guided every species for millions upon millions of years. Those that survive, breed, and the only ones to breed are the strong (either in mind, or physical strength). I've given a few examples, and there are many more. Just search "examples of natural selection" and there really would be no argument. Now, I assume your next argument will be about how life comes from non life. To that, I say look at this page on abiogenesis (how life can arise from simple organic compounds). Link: http://en.wikipedia.org... Sources http://dsc.discovery.com... http://www.learner.org...
