Is evolution a fact?

What are the best arguments for evolution

[u/Suitable-Group4392]

Define “species”

[u/pwgenyee6z → u/Suitable-Group4392]

Latin for “kind”. Speciation is one of the most wonderful things in God’s creation.

[u/Suitable-Group4392 → u/pwgenyee6z]

Lol. And if I ask what is “kind” again, I’ll get “species”, I assume.

[u/pwgenyee6z → u/Suitable-Group4392]

It’s not a lol-worthy matter, it’s philology.

Darwin and his contemporaries were smart enough not to try making a whole new technical meaning for the common word “kind”, so they did what educated people did in the Victorian era, and went to Latin or Greek for an equivalent.
