"Tucker is making the claim that there’s no evidence for evolution because there aren’t fossils. And he suggests that God just created man as we are.
Evidence to support evolution:
1. Fossil Record: We have animal fossils going back 500-600 million years that show the order of species.
Species found deeper in older rock existed earlier in Earth’s history. Transitional forms appear exactly where evolution predicts: fish that are becoming amphibians, dinosaurs growing feathers, land mammals turning into whales. The order is universal across Earth.
2. Genetics: Every organism on Earth uses the same code: the same 20 amino acids & the same molecular machinery.
This is exactly what you would expect from a single common ancestor. If life had multiple independent origins, we’d expect totally different codes.
We share DNA with species. ~99% of genes with chimps, ~96% with gorillas, ~85% with mice, ~60% with fruit flies, ~30% with yeast. The farther back a species branched from humans on the evolutionary tree, the less DNA we share.
We can also trace mutations in DNA. For example, you can show how gorillas and humans split from the same ancestor through the mutation of the GULO gene on the same chromosome. This mutation inhibits the endogenous production of Vitamin C.
3. Biogeography: Ever wonder why there are only marsupials in Australia? Because that continent drifted away, and that infraclass of species evolved separately from all others.
4. Vestigial characteristics: ever wonder why humans have vestigial characteristics (a tailbone, goosebump,s and wisdom teeth)? You wouldn’t "intelligently design" a human from scratch with leftover features only useful to ancestors.
5. Shared structure: Ever wonder why a human arm, a whale fin, a bat wing, and a horse leg all have the same structure ... (humerus, radius /ulna, carpals, digits) ... Could it be because they all evolved from a common ancestor?
