If you have not demonstrated that it evolved then you cannot say that it no doubt did evolve. You could have demonstrated that either through observation or deduction and you have done neither. Additionally, if we were to demonstrate that one or some organisms evolved from single cell organisms you would still not know that all did.If evolution explains the process it could still have been by the hand of a creator. I never said that I was limiting myself to non-theistic explanations so it does not matter if evolution says nothing about a creator or not. (though too many evolutionists do have something to say about a creator when they should remain silent on the issue) Ha. My bad. aI did not mean always even that is what I wrote. I just meant prior to the time when the mayfly you described existed.It is more than just possible that some species appeared rather suddenly. In the link that you provided earlier the first example was of a plant that speciated over the course of one season and became established over the course of only about 20 years. Which goes back to the ppoint I am trying to make. Evolution happens but so far there have been no examples showing it to be gradual over long periods of time as a result of mutations and survival of the fittest. IMO we need to seriously consider abandoning the mutation theory.I agree in part. We have demonstrated that a few species have speciated from simple to complex and in ways different from the standard theory. We cannot yet generalized that to all species.
