Still looking for proof of evolution

I'd like to respond to Andrew Kinkella's response ("Evolution can be your friend," T.O. Acorn, March 29) to my challenge.

First, however, I offer this tutorial in recognizing a common American name.

Gene and Jean sound the same, yet are spelled differently. Gene is given to boys and Jean to girls. Similarly, Lorin or Loren are given to boys; Lauren to girls. See the connection?

I asked for two examples of one species evolving into another species. Andrew attempted to do that by offering examples of skeletal remains which developed larger brain cases over time. Therefore what?

If we had never seen live members of the ape family but found skeletal remains, what could we conclude from them? That the orangutan was the precursor of gorillas? Or that the gorilla had a larger brain case and therefore descended from the orangutan?

Mr. Kinkella's evidence is the same one constantly presented. "I've got a lot of bones, those bones might demonstrate evolution of some species, and furthermore, a lot of smart people agree." This evidence does not show the connection. When Mr. Kinkella can explain the step-by-step progress from species A to B, then that spotlight of fame may focus upon him. But not this time.

Again, the theory of evolution remains a theory, not fact. I don't know why so many are opposed to just saying that. Lorin Wainwood Newbury Park
