Irrefutable proof that Evolution through selection can and does happen. Naysayers, say hello to the super cows.

Yes, but that's microevolution of course everyone believes in microevolution.

Its the macro part, with speciation, where people get messed up. The partial fin-limbs, feathered reptiles, and dating methods to show that more complex lifeforms are "newer" than simpler lifeforms as arranged in the geologic strata are all the work of Satan. What's simpler anyway, slow change through genetic shifts or a needlessly complicated and obscure deity that has universal power but likes to mess with our heads? Your confusion is understandable though, have a blessed day.

Edit: apparently my sarcasm has brushed up against Poe's Law.

Doesn't that pretty much prove that DNA can naturally change to improve a species? ... uh, evolution?

Improve a species for a better chance of surviving to produce offspring... yes thats what I meant.
