We will be starting my proving Evolution.
Ultimately every living thing can trace its ancestry to a bacterium that lived billions of years ago.
Bears, seals, and dogs are closely related carnivores but are on a different branch of the evolutionary tree than cats and hyenas.
Some snakes have hip bones, which shows they once had four legs like lizards, their close cousins.

Darwin didn't mean evolution to be true.
Evolutionists commonly answer the above criticism by claiming that evolution goes too slowly for us to see it happening today. They used to claim that the real evidence for evolution was in the fossil record of the past, but the fact is that the billions of known fossils do not include a single unequivocal transitional form with transitional structures in the process of evolving.
First of all, the lack of a case for evolution is clear from the fact that no one has ever seen it happen. If it were a real process, evolution should still be occurring, and there should be many "transitional" forms that we could observe. What we see instead, of course, is an array of distinct "kinds" of plants and animals with many varieties within each kind, but with very clear and apparently unbridgeable gaps between the kinds. That is, for example, there are many varieties of dogs and many varieties of cats, but no data or cogs. Such variation is often called microevolution, and these minor horizontal or downward changes occur fairly often, but such changes are not true vertical evolution. They don't want to be wrong about evolution, because if they were proven wrong they would have to change their whole way of thinking about stuff like
