there are theories and evidence for a younger earth ... there is no "evidence" for "a creator", no matter where you put the age mark ... but that would be the other thread

Even without these direct observations it would be wrong to say that evolution hasn't been observed. Evidence isn't limited to seeing something happen before your eyes. Evolution makes predictions about what we would expect to see in the fossil record, comparative anatomy, genetic sequences, geographical distribution of species, etc., and these predictions have been verified many times over. The number of observations supporting evolution is overwhelming. What hasn't been observed is one animal abruptly changing into a radically different one, such as a frog changing into a cow (like certain people insist on seeing in order for them to buy evolution...). This is not a problem for evolution because evolution doesn't propose occurrences even remotely like that. In fact, if we ever observed a frog turn into a cow, it would be very strong evidence AGAINST evolution.

we do not pretend to know, or teach, what caused the initial "big bang" state to come about... it is an unknown, without evidence by which to examine it evolution theory is also the study of evidence we can observe and interpret

i know animals have mutations, fruit fly experiments are a lotta fun but at the end of the experiment you still have fruit flys you don't have a new kind of fly, we know micro evolution works and is observable the dog example i gave a while back i'm not arguing mutations or microevolution, just the idea that something can come from nothing and what is this crap your giving me that evolution doesn't need drastic changes for evidence, you guys say we evolved from goo, i'd say from goo to a human is pretty drastic wouldn't you??

And on a side-note: very intrigingly, it is also supposed that one mammoth sub-species managed to outlive its cousins a long time on Wrangel Island near Russia. It's very interesting material to research.

Here's the first description of animals in the scripture, and where they emerged (not detailed, but the Bible isn't all that detailed on these matters. Its primary purpose isn't pre-human history). Quote:
