the idea of creationism is the reason why i don't believe in any religion ever since i was young. I find it ridiculous to believe god created the universe from hands like..
i was only a child and you cant even fool me.
It's silly to say that you don't unless you take pride in being ignorant. My grandmother, who was a religious nut, used to say "If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" and it just was like wow.

children find it hard to believe because theyre children. congratulations youre still a child
revolution isnt proven because it takes millions of years and no one can observe that. goodbye
You can observe evolution happen with viruses. They reproduce much faster, and therefore are able to evolve much faster. This allows them to be able to get us sick every year because they evolve just enough to be able to overcome your immune system which has only learned how to kill the older version of the virus. That's why you need to get shots every year for the updated Flu.

That's why you need to get shots every year for the updated Flu.
The basic reason for the difference between the flu vaccine and many other vaccines is that the flu virus evolves much more rapidly than do viruses like measles, mumps, and polio. Our bodies fight off diseases, in part, through the production of antibodies that help our immune systems recognize and attack foreign invaders. Vaccines work by priming the body with the right antibodies to fight a particular disease before it gets a foothold and makes us sick. For measles, mumps, and polio, this works just fine. If you were fully vaccinated for these diseases as a child (or had the disease as a child) and your body encounters one of these pathogens many years later, it is extremely likely that your body's antibodies will be able to recognize the intruders and attack them. However, the flu evolves so much from season to season that last year's antibodies usually cannot recognize this year's viral strain. So if you were vaccinated for flu last year or had the flu last year, it indicates nothing about your body's ability to fend off the bug this year.
In fact, in a process called antigenic drift, flu evolves in response to the antibodies our bodies produce each year. During the course of a flu epidemic, many people gain immunity to the strain of the virus that is currently circulating. Through the process of natural selection, any flu virus particles that happen to carry mutations that allow them to slip by the defenses of common antibodies will be favored, produce more copies of themselves, and eventually, spread to more new victims. This process leads to the evolution of new strains, one or some of which are likely to become the cause of next year's flu season.
Yes. There's divergent evolution which causes speciation, which is when one species is gradually formed from another due to separation from each other therefore causing two groups to live and adapt to two different environments. Then there's convergent evolution which is when two different species end up with similar characteristics even though they are distantly related, this is caused by living in similar environments or needing a specific characteristic in order for the species to survive. An example of that could be birds and bats, they don't evolve from each other, yet they both developed wings.
