No, I believe it. I believe they have concepts, ideas, a hypothesis or two, and absolutely no proof of anything regarding a single celled organism become trees and dogs and squids.

Fine, your prerogative; but to continue this comparison of faith and science just provide some evidence, something that backs up your belief, that is as close to "proof" as that is, or just admit that you have nothing but a story in a book.

That's my point exactly - neither do you.

As if you didn't know (Peppered moth evolution): - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light colouration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-coloured trees and lichens which they rested upon. However, because of widespread pollution during the Industrial Revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and the trees that peppered moths rested on became blackened by soot, causing most of the light-coloured moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-coloured, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees.

And, in what way does this answer my question? How does this demonstrate an offspring species that is significantly different than the parent species and is significantly more advanced (like a single cell to a dog and a tree from the same original species)?
