We are watching,
I havent had time to read all the thread, just pages 1-3, firstly THE DUDE ABIDES and I am often mocked for drinking way too many white russians than could be considered 'cool' (why wont you just drink lager... Nope!)
secondly, laugh and call into question everything everyone has said here if you want, in fact it is encouraged because WE ARE NOT the giverning body or JW's. I would love for people to go read this stuff for themselves,but most don't and thats why people here tend to get a little frustrated. The evidence is right here ready to be read.
Ok, so single celled organisms to bears... I imagine you said that assuming the only evidence we have is.... Single celled organisms and bears. You may know we have fossils from early earth where only single celled organisms existed at that time on earth, knowing we now have bears, well possibly we just added 2+2 and got 4 ?
The truth is, that IS WHAT WE DID, but we did it 100 years ago. There are branches of specialised, specialised, specialised sub specialised biology that works on specific cell machinery and its evolution (we call them organelles). We have computers and papers churning out data on this stuff daily. We have been doing this for some decades now too, so in reality we actually DO have lots of data and information to look at..... How mich have you looked at? How hard have you looked for it?
One big piece of the jigsaw you may not have thought of, as well as observing the early single celled organisms and bears ...... DNA.
Because the DNA of all living things have has CLEARLY EVOLVED as predicted, from the DNA alone we can work backwards and look at all the organisms on that DNA code's branch in the tree of life. We can even see past virus infections and bacterial infections that DNA chain endured and the immunity it formed to beat those infections, I know, amazing hey! The DNA analysis has reached the stage now, that fossils have preety much become irrelevant to the study of evolution for obvious reasons. importantly to us, analysis of our dna alongside the analysis of bacterial and viral dna is essential to modern pharmacology. We study the evolution of bacterial attack mechanisms and host defence mechanisms over millions of years in order to better understand how to defend ourselves now.
There is TOO MUCH evidence and data to convey in a forum here, so please dont take our word for it and check it all out for yourself, if you are sincerely interested.
in our humble defence, imagine if what we are saying is true, imagine coming to a forum and being told the evidence we ourselves have read and maybe spent years studing so we could appreciate it, for someone to simply laugh and say it didnt exist, then call us Jehovah's Witness like for trying to encourage people to look at this life changing evidence.....
something to ponder.....

p.s. We are even studying the DNA of single celled organisms and their organelles (cell machinery), largely with mitochondria in mind (they have their own dna) to establish how even the single celled organisms evolved. There are fascinating papers on early single cell development, check out the papers on ENDOSYMBIOSIS.
