Microevolution ie forms of adaptation are practical, but why believe in macro when the evidence is s
There is a *lot* of evidence for macroevolution. Scientists simply would not support it so overwhelmingly if there wasn't! Period. Scientists live, eat, and breathe *EVIDENCE* ... they are NOT universally stupid or corrupt.
Sorry the following is so long ... but I first have to clear up the common misuse (or misunderstanding) of the terms 'microevolution' and 'macroevolution', and *then* address the evidence.
There is a lot of confusion about the difference between the terms 'microevolution' and 'macroevolution.' It is *NOT* some fundamental difference found in nature. In other words, macroevolution is simply the same process that produces microevolution, except on much longer time scales. That same process is simply called "evolution" ... and there is no fundamental difference between the two *in nature*.
It is a division that *biologists* sometimes make when *studying* evolution (in the same way that we distinguish between 'biochemistry' and 'molecular chemistry' ... but there is no real barrier between the two *in nature*). Microevolution is "evolution below and at the level of species." And macroevolution is "evolution at and above the level of species" ... but both include evolution *at* the level of the species ... i.e. the split of species into two species, which has been documented both by experiment and observation.
The only reason biologists make the distinction is that microevolution occurs on timescales of a few years ... while macroevolution occurs on longer timescales ranging to thousands or even millions of years. Thus microevolution (and some forms of macroevolution) can be studied using direct experiment ... while macroevolution mostly relies on observation (which is an equally valid way of doing science ... in fact, many sciences rely almost entirely on observation ... geology, astronomy, astrophysics, archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, climatology, meteorology, etc.).
Creationists try to exploit this difference between experiment and observation to imply that there is "little evidence" for macroevolution ... or even that macroevolution doesn't qualify as a science at all.
This is of course rubbish.
If there wasn't *tons* of evidence from observation that serves as powerful evidence of macroevolution, then scientists would not support it so strongly. The strongest of this evidence is the gene and DNA evidence showing unmistakeable signs of common ancestry between living species (not just a "relationship", but one of shared DNA sequences and genes that show *how much* any two species are related, and *when* their two genetic lines diverged). Almost as strong is the fossil evidence. But there is also embryological evidence, evidence from structures of species both alive and extinct, vestigial structures, homologous structures, atavisms, biogeography (e.g. the fact that kangaroos and all their fossils appear *only* in Australia), shared proteins, virology, bacteriology, etc. etc.
There is absolutely no reason the overwhelming majority (%26gt;98%) of scientists would continue to accept macroevolution if "the evidence is so little."
Whoever told you that was lying to you.

As expected ... this was a typical creationist "post-and-run".
Ask a question, but don't stick around for the answers.

There is no known mechanism which would prevent microevolution, over a period of time, from becoming macroevolution.
Think about it next time you're walking your dog or eating an ear of corn.
Edit:
Oh man, I'm about to get pwned by Secretsauce, LOL.
Perhaps you have a better theory? One which better fits the evidence? One which doesn't not involve some kind of wishful thinking, or supernatural phenomena?
There is no such thing as micro- or macro-evolution. It is all one thing, just the evolution of species.

Me too, but all I can find is version 1.0 released last year. Youtube changes the video headers quite often to keep people (like us) from getting copies.

Mozilla Firefox is awesome, so you'll love it, I promise.
As for why it crashed, it tends to crash often if you use too much media, such as Flash, Shockwave, or any other type of media used that is integrated into the browser in any way.

good job
This typically happens because of a bug in IE or some kind of fatal Windows error when using IE.
Switch to Mozilla Firefox. It is much more stable and secure.

IE: proof of residency & income: living with brother,pay rent,not on lease. Will they report us
I'm 18 imacipated. Brother concerned if I apply for fian aid and use his address we will get kicked out due to Fian Aid reporting to apts. Also that his income will be requested by Fianancial Aid. I need Fian Aid to goto school. Is this true? Is all income of household required if I support myself? Does Fiancial Aid report you if you are not on the lease? How can I show proof of residency?

They just want to know where you live so if they need to contact you they can. It does not matter where you live. If you are emancipated they will not care any about your brother. Proof of residency can be proved through your taxes they will send you paperwork if they need it.

Call the school's financial aid office and ask them. They will know better than anyone on here. Tell them about your situation and ask about the best way to handle it. It's better to just call them and do it the right way, then do it the way you think it should be done and get in trouble. It also makes you look much more responsible if you call and ask for assistance when you know that you need it. They love helping people with that kind of stuff. That's what they're there for! Good luck!! :-)
Proof of residency usually means that you can get mail someplace and have a valid ID (driver's license) with the same address.
Financial aid does not call the apartment manager.
You provide information on your own income, not your brother's income.
If you are legally emancipated, or have lived away from your parents for more than 4 years, you do not report their income.
If it has been less than 4 years, you may need to report their income.
If their are specially circumstances, talk to the financial aid counselor at your school (or the school that you are applying to).
Hope this helps.
Sure, your federal financial aid application goes through a variety of different government systems before it is "approved" -- but housing/leases, etc. are NOT one of them. You have nothing to worry about there. Your Financial Aid Office has way too much to do to be reporting people to their landlords...
Beyond that... Who is asking for proof of residency? This isn't something that the Financial Aid Office will usually do -- not for federal or institutional aid, anyway. It is *possible* that you might be asked to prove residency in order to obtain financial aid from your state (i.e. if you're from California and are eligible for a Cal Grant or are from Massachusetts and could get a Mass. Grant). Most states rely on the financial aid office to collect residency information -- and they generally give more "proof" options than just a lease. You could, for example, submit proof that you have received your bills at an address in the state for (X) number of years and/or that you file taxes in the state.
As far as your brother's income -- DO NOT include a siblling's income on the FAFSA. He isn't a "parent," so it isn't relevant. If you were to use him in place of a parent.. well, it really messes things up for Financial Aid people when student's do that. Just read the FAFSA instructions carefully, follow them, and you'll be fine.
The only people whose income you should include are YOUR income and your parent's income. Why do I say parent's income? Because -- contrary to popular belief -- being emancipated by your state DOESN'T classify you as "independent" on the FAFSA. You will instead need to complete the FAFSA to the best of your ability. It will then *require* parent information as well as a parent's signature. Since it sounds like you will be unable to provide this information, you will need to then contact your Financial Aid office to request a Dependency Override. Simply put, until you are 24 or earn your degree [or are married, an orphan, a veteran, or have kids], only your Fin Aid Office can "emancipate" you (i.e. declare you independent) for Federal Student Aid purposes.
I think he means like state residency, right? I know at the school I work at they will accept a Voter Registration Card and a Driver's License. Anything less than a year in my state will mean you pay out of state tuition. Many states have much less stringent guidelines. I think when I was in California residency could be established sooner. Many places will accept a utility bill, lease, phone bill, etc. to prove residency.
