Evolution: Gaps + Gaps

Well, I just noticed another straw-man my opponent made! Two individuals are not considered the same species if they cannot mate and reproduce. Pro correctly stated the definition,but then presented a straw man when mentioning "oranges into apples" since oranges and apples belong to a different order. Furthermore, pro is using only fossil gaps to prove his point, and fossils are just one evidence for evolution. I will give more evidence in my second paragraph below.Now, if I did not make myself clear in the first round, I already gave enough evidence that evolution exists. However, we are not arguing concerning evolution itself, we are talking about whether it is a scientific theory or not. In order for a theory to be scientific,it needs to match the criteria,that is,it needs to have:1. Independent verifiability (has)2.Independent falsifiability (has)3.Can predict the future (has) Especially the predictive power. Evolution can tell us what should we expect to find in the future, and also tells us what not to find the future. Because specific beings have similar traits, there are also genetic "extra baggage" from our ancestry (atavism). We can find semi-functional teeth in birds, tails in humans sometimes, and hind fins on dolphins, just to name a few that add up upon my last round argument. The theory also tells us that we shouldn't expect to find, say,mammaries on reptiles, or fur on amphibians, etc. because these features are not found in any of these organisms' ancestry. There is also a Hardy-Weinberg equation (p² + 2pq + q² = 1) for paternity tests that can be used along with the distinct gene markers that allow life forms to diverge. http://anthro.palomar.edu...More evidenceChronological order of organisms in the fossil record. If the evolutionary theory is correct, then the location of the fossils in the fossil layers corresponds to how ancient they are. You will never find, say, amphibian in the sediment older than silurian, and you will never find a fossil of primate in sediment older than the cretaceous. http://evoled.dbs.umt.edu...The "common ancestor" argument--If we came from a common ancestor with other great apes,when we examine our and their DNA,their DNA should reflect that...and it does. http://www.amnh.org...The overlaying of the different taxonomies-- we draw "Trees" using Genetics,Morphology and Linnaean taxonomy, and they confirm each other 80% of the time, a high and respectable percentage. http://www.talkorigins.org...Chromosome 2-- "The correspondence of chromosome 2 to two ape chromosomes...the chimpanzee, has near-identical DNA sequences to human chromosome 2...The same is true of the more distant gorilla and orangutan." http://en.wikipedia.org...(human)Psychological atavisms-- One psychological atavism is the ability of an infant to instinctively know how to float after birth. Another example is the Palmar grasp reflex. This reflex is present only in infants (humans and great apes). Infants of chimpanzee use this reflex to keep themselves holding onto the mother's fur. Evolutionary theory is the only theory that can explain these reflexes appearing in these two different species. http://en.wikipedia.org...Finally, we have more than 95% identical DNA to chimpanzees. Explain that! http://www.answersingenesis.org...Oh yes, and good luck explaining how we have 50% identical DNA to bananas! :P http://seriousfacts.com...
