Thinking evolution is not true is a lot like saying radio is not true. After all it is just a theory that radio waves propagate through space and that information can be encoded on them. No one has actually seen radio waves just their effects. So we haven’t actually seen an animal evolve doesn’t mean we don’t see the effects.

In the late 19th and early 20th century there was a lot of speculation about missing links. The idea of missing links is now thought to be more than just a little foolish. Scientist are now pretty sure that evolution is a little more subtle and a lot more complex than many of the early ideas. Now the idea is more that multiple small changes occur over long periods of time. Environment and luck may play a bigger part than natural selection and ‘survival of the fittest’.
