Evolution from example

yeah, but that line of reasoning is a gateway to embryology

Don't waste your time trying to "teach" those people anything

>man at church was trying to explain to me how man didn't evolve from monkeys

You will never convince him because he's convinced he already knows the truth. Move on with your life, for your own good and for his.

Artificial selection might be a good starting example of how variation within in a species can lead to big changes over generations if specific traits are selected for. If people can do it, why can't nature (or God if want to just wean them off creationism onto intelligent design)

Cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kohl rabi and kale are all the same species but due to different people selecting for different traits, they look physically different. Same goes for dogs.

Would lungfish be a better example for the transition of water to land? They clearly look like fish, swim like a fish and can even still respire through gills like a fish but they can also breathe air like any kind of terrestrial vertebrate.

Mosquitoes and dragonflies also have an aquatic larvae phase

Nigga what are you thinking. You don't just go up to religious people and change their minds about something they've believed in and held on to for their entire lives, it doesn't happen. Best case scenario you'll both agree to disagree but it sounds like either one of you will be too retarded to let it go.

So do all all vertebrates actually. Just with the difference that our larvae are in eggs/wombs

No.

this, these people are willfully ignorant, they would refuse to change their minds no matter what evidence you show them

>>2440297
you bridge reason and religion by asking the man if we do not change from a bad path, then we as beasts under the god of the universe are not free from cause and effect. we are as subject to the rules as beasts under a god that makes no exception for us [good eye contact with guy] and that is ok.
