This evidence is demonstrable, emperical evidence that I suppose the dumbells haven't had the opportunity to study. So it would be wolves have always been wolves, which also isn't true. There are no fossilized evidence of the domestic cats either, not even from the time creation was suppose to take place around six thousand years ago. You're battin' zero.
Hi Lightwiz,
Your claim of 'empirical evidence' is stretching the term quite a bit.

No one has observed dogs evolving from wolves.
What they have observed is fossil remains of various kinds.
They have then
inferred[/b] that since Sample A and Sample B share many characteristics, that they 'must' be 'related' --- i.e. one is
assumed[/b] to have evolved from the other.
This assumption must be made because the supposed evolution was not and can never be observed --- i.e. no empirical evidence of evolution.
Without an assumption of evolution from the get-go, you are battin' zero.
