Does the existence of intermediate forms support or not support the theory of evolution?
Intermediate forms are predicted by evolutionary science in several ways. Their presence supports the theory of evolution.
What are the three forms of evidence supporting evolution?
-Fossil -Biological -Genetic
Why do fundamentalists oppose all forms of evolution?
Because they feel it disagrees with a literal interpretation of Genesis......they will say that evolution has no scientific evidence to support it and try to come up with arguments against it, but the bottom line is they just don't WANT to believe it, and so reject it at face value.
Why is ther little evidence for the evolution of early life forms?
Because of the lack of hard parts. Geological upheaval (this affects all fossils to a certain degree ). To name two reasons that are supported by the evidence. It also hinges on what you mean as " little. " The evidence, by way of analogy, would convict a saint of murder. It is strong enough for that and strong enough to support evolutionary theory
What are the four area of study that help to explain or prove the theory of evolution?
The four sources of supporting evidence for the theory of evolution are fossils, the development of life forms, changes over life forms over the years and the way in which related species are distributed across the world.

What is paleontological evidence of evolution?
organic evolution is thus the progressive development of animals and plant from ancestors of different forms and function

What are used as evidence for evolution?
Fossils. These show the incredible amount of time required to turn early life forms into stone. Studying the fossils, one can see the similarities and evolution of species over time. UNREST.
Why are fossils of intermediate life forms likely to be rare if the pattern of punctuated equilibrium explains how evolution occurs?
Intermediate species forms, yes. A the taxa level, no. Still, not all taxa evidence is supportive of punctuation and stasis. Punctuated equilibrium is only one explanation of how evolution occurs in some species, not all species. The little shellies evidence gradualist processes very well.
Where does the most evidence for evolution comes from?
The most compelling evidence, as well as the greatest amount of observational data to support the evolutionary model and aid in its refinement, comes from genetics and comparative genomics. The genomic record (the complete library of all sequenced genomes and the genes they contain) is by far the most complete record of evolution that we have at our disposal. Additionally, the fossil record can be used to test and verify hypotheses regarding timing of emergence, behaviours and morphology of ancestral forms.
What are transitional forms?
Fossils or organisms that show the intermediate states between an ancestral form and that of its descendants are referred to as transitional forms. There are numerous examples of transitional forms in the fossil record, providing an abundance of evidence for change over time.
What would be evidence of evolution?
A creationist idea of " transitional " forms. The crocaduck, a dog giving birth to kittens and other nonsense that would violate the basic tenets of evolutionary theory.
HOW DOES THESE FORMS OF EVIDENCE SUPPORT THE THOERY RED SHIFT and EXISTENCE?
It isn't clear what forms of evidence you are talking about. Also, redshift is not a theory; it's an observational fact. The THEORY (actually, the only reasonable explanation) for redshift on large scales is that it is due to the expansion of the Universe.
