Evolution Records was created in 1969.
There is strong support for the theory of evolution due to fossils that have been found by archeologists. The fossil records show evidence of evolution over billions of years.

By comparing markings, serial numbers etc to known records from gun makers.
40 million years agoThey started appearing in the Cenozoic period.
Fossil records back up evolution by showing the ancestors of extant species. If species didn't evolve, the fossils would be of species currently living, since none of them would have changed. Extant = Currently living Extinct = No longer living
It is physically impossible to know, or even estimate, the exact number of living reptiles there are in the world, but they are many records regarding the vast types (or number of species) of reptiles that inhabit Earth. Some quick numbers:REPTILESNUMBER OF SPECIMENSCrocodiliansover 800Tuataraabout 16Lizardsover 105,000Amphisbaeniansover 450Snakesover 50,000Turtlesover 18,500
The fact that is it a goldfish is test enough that is not pregnant. Fish, reptiles and birds lay eggs and so do not get pregnant (there have been records of some reptiles giving birth to live young but not fish.)
There are thousands of instances of direct evidence of evolution. The most well-known example is that of Darwin's Finches. These finches were observed through fossil records to have changed over time to adapt to their environment.
There are about 8,225 species of reptiles in the world. About 9000 species of reptiles (Class Reptilia) have been discovered, although some may be subspecies or variants of known species.
All mammals have a long and complex lineage. The first mammals branched off from reptiles about 200 or more million years ago. Apes evolved from an ancient group of possum-like tree mammals millions of years ago. These mammals diversified 65 million years ago after the death of the dinosaurs, branching off into all the different mammals of today. One group of mammals took to the trees, developing long tails, opposed thumbs and flat faces, eventually becoming apes.
Thirteenth century German records in Bavaria identify the proud and notable Earnest family with great social and economic evolution.
