Evolution is a theory, not a law, and holds the same weight as any other theory. So, how many fish have turned into humans? How many apes have turned into humans?You're kidding, right? This is a troll? Please tell me this is a troll. Because I don't think any scientist (Darwinist, Creationist, any serious -ist) has EVER tried to imply that fish transmorgify into humans, within a human lifespan, as a result of (for example) "random mutation", and you're trying to imply that this is the whole basis of the "theory" of evolution.
Theory: A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.Okay, so you've got the definition of "Theory". It applies really nicely to the theory in question. Because, see, when you take the time to learn to learn about the theory, then take some more time to test it*, you'll see that the theory is in fact widely accepted and VERY testable. And it IS BEING USED to make predictions about natural phenomena.
Take a look at this to see how silly this argument really is:

I have seen repeated evidence that when I or other Christians pray to God, cancer is cured, relationships are healed, and miracles happen. These phenomena have been observed by millions since the beginning of time and recorded in historical texts.Do us all a favor: read these

Okay, I know you're not really going to, so here's an example of Regression Fallacy (not a very good one, but I'm at work):
The other day, my wife got a 24-hour flu.
She breastfed our youngest daughter during the time she was sick.
She felt better two days later.
Therefore, breastfeeding is a good cure for the flu.
So, where is your fish with legs??In the fossil record. The legs didn't really work all that well for a while.
Where is your ape with opposable thumbs?Um, you? Chimpanzees? Gorillas? See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate Incidentally, they all have fingernails, mammary glands in roughly the same configurations as humans, very similar internal organ structure, the list goes on and on. There are good reasons why they say chimpanzees are closely related to humans, and there are good reasons they say cats are not so. Physiology and behavior are good examples. DNA is another. Though cats have a great deal in common physiologically with humans also.
We have millions of fossils, yet none which prove evolution.We have thousands of pages of scripture (copied millions of times over), plus a super-lucrative worldwide trade in books analyzing said scripture, plus dozens of varieties of ancient mythology to choose from as well, yet none which prove Christianity. So?
It sounds like many have more faith than I to believe in something that has not even been proven to the extent of the Word of God and defend it with such vigor. I simply believe what I have seen in my life, which is evidence of God.It sounds like many have more faith than I to believe in something that has not even been proven to the extent of the Theory of Evolution and defend it with such vigor. I simply believe what I have seen in my life (to which I then applied principles of [Biochemistry, Biology, Logic, Physics, Physiology, Reason,
...]), which is evidence of Evolution.
However, in the end, we will all know the answer. You might check into it with an open mind, before the end.Yep. Good luck with that open mind thing. Nice Troll, poor Argument.
