Okay let me give a try at this.
Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species started the modern evolutionary movement which now is thought to have occured in six phases. Cosmic evolution, Chemical evolution, Stellar and planetary evolution, Organic evolution, Macro evolution, and finally Micro evolution. Only the last one has ever been observed, the other five are simply assumed. When I say assumed I'm not trying to say someone pulled them out of their ass, but there is little backing in these claims and have never been seen to happen.

The fish has a foreman much like an amphibians which is theorized to be the first terrestrial organisms. Also, this type of fish is a lungfish, which has a lung. These adaptions would have allowed the first terrestrials to reach land. Just look at fossisls and bones and look at the similarities.

Can you explain to me why these are theorized to be transitional fossils please.

We have hair and glands which allow us to control our body temperatures, which is a lot of better than any other nonmammal organism. Mammal's neopallium [ which is a part of the brain that deals with learning] is enlarged. What seperates humans from other mammals is basically our cerbal cortex which has only recently [in the past 10 millions years] has developed. Whether God's hand is used to start evolution is debatable.

Okay, I looked at mammals. Is this the evidence pointint towards evolution? Is this the evidence that leads us to believe that we have only been around for a small part of the time? Mammals? How does that prove anything?

Well actually, the sun isn't THAT far away.
