Oh, you can, surely. But have you? As Mac says, "Have you seen these fossil records? Have you poured through the data yourself? The numbers, the figures?"
Confidently denying something because you haven't personally seen the evidence makes you look as much an idiot as confidently accepting it without evidence.
@DaughterOfMars Are you asking if I was "boots on the ground" with archeologists? Nope. However, considering humans, I consider people admitting they might be wrong and adopting better concepts as evolution. Evolution is not about intelligence, but, adaptation to survive. I would say I have seen evolution, personally, in my life.
Bit of a nitpick, but adaptation is not evolution. I was about to say that you cannot observe capital E Evolution in your own lifetime but then I remembered stuff on the bacterial scale that reproduces at break neck pace and is absolutely observable. HIV is one of these examples.
@ngdev I think semantics plays a part in this, too. Survival of the fittest, so to speak.
