this is either a lie or a delusion; probably the latter, but who knows. you can google "observed instances of speciation" and find the proof quite easily. and if that's not enough for you, you can go to a database and look up the actual literature and read that. and if that's not enough for you, you can reproduce the experiments yourself to refute the conclusions of those lying scientists and prove that evolution isn't real. but you're not actually interested in reality or the truth, you're trying to hold onto your trash fire of a religious ideology. I doubt you'll even try the first of those options.
To be fair, the theory of evolution has an Achilles heel; it relies on the presumption that time exists, the uniformity principle and by extension, cause and effect. None of those things can be proven by conventional means. David Hume, who was addressing cause and effect threw the early modern philosophers into disarray when he pointed this out in the " Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding . Fortunately, Kant, in the Critique of Pure Reason offers that they are known through intuition, aka a priori knowledge. Unfortunately, Kant grounded his ideas in the transcendental doctrine, which has its own problems... Though, I digress for this is not the time to start sprouting my dorm room philosophy
.
Regardless of the soundness of transcendentalism, arguing against evolution using these critiques is not a palatable position to take for most as it denies cause and effect, empiricism, time etc. I only mention it because I think the occasional solipsism can be pretty useful and because I was enjoying this little dialogue so much that I think it is worth mentioning.
For the record, evolution is my jam.
