A massive yes from me!
Part of my PhD is studying the evolution of foraminifera (tiny plankton), they only live 2 weeks and reproduce like mad so millions and millions of them are constantly raining down on the sea floor to build up layers of sediment. If you drill a core of ocean floor you can recover millions of years worth of sediments, and by sampling at regular intervals we can actually see how these tiny shells change over time! It’s really amazing!
So yes I believe in evolution because I see it ever day when I look down the microscope!

Hi, I don’t have to believe in evolution since I feel there is enough knowledge to confirm it. I see microevolution of bacteria everyday.

thank you very much for your answer and i think it is very detailed.
iman11 commented on :
Evolution (in my opinion) is an incompleted theory, and a conspiracy.
Boo mythbusters, because they have not busted this myth
Lynz commented on :
I have to disagree iman11, granted Darwin’s original work was incomplete but things have come a long way since then. Ask any evolutionary biologist or palaeontologist. Many many scientists accept evolution as fact theses days.
I’m interested to know why you think it’s a conspiracy?
