Oh, yes, and everybody's been evolving for the same amount of time.

I read the latest Dawkins book - man is he hard to read, he is SO full of himself - about the evidence for evolution. Some good points:

-No species is stable, all forms are "intermediate"" between what they came from and where they will end up, if they continue to survive

-The congruence of evidence for evolution comes from many, many disciplines beyond/other than biology

-Denying evolution (Note: Not "not believing in it") is to deny history, geography, cosmology, astronomy, and so on.

(Poor points include Dawkins' repeated phrasing indicating his beleif that only he can explain this stuff, and that the poor dumb reader shouldn't strain their little brain trying to understand it elsewhere.)
