Compare the bones in your arm to your dog's foreleg. Bone for bone match-up. You and you dog have a common ancestor somewhere in the depths of time.
Why would a " supreme being " use the same bones in both limbs when a better engineering solution could be found? We have the natural explanation, and, god(s) or not, that is the evolutionary explanation.
The comparisons between the anatomies of various organisms show common ancestry which supports evolution.
Comparative anatomy is the investigation and comparison of the structures of different animals. Scientists use comparative anatomy to study the difference between species and how they are alike in other ways. By comparing the similarities and differences between a number of species, scientists can then construct a picture of their evolutionary relationships.
Vertebrate forelimbs are most likely to be studied in comparative anatomy and evolutionary biology due to variations in their structure, function, and adaptation across different species. They are also a focus of study in paleontology to understand the evolution of vertebrates over time. Additionally, research on vertebrate forelimbs can provide insights into biomechanics, locomotion, and development in organisms.
Fossil record shows a progression of organisms from simple to complex forms over time. Comparative anatomy reveals similarities in bone structure and development between different species, indicating a common evolutionary ancestry. Genetic similarity and shared sequences in DNA among different species provide strong evidence for common ancestry and evolution.
Comparative anatomy and evolutionary development have shown the connection between species; both the near and far connections. Look at the bones in your arm and then at the foreleg bones of your cat or dog and see how evolutionarily close the both of you are. The HOX genes between you and fruit flies, the control genes for making bodies, show that you and flies share common ancestry as suggested by evolution.
There is no single piece of evidence that definitively disproves evolution. The theory of evolution is supported by a vast amount of evidence from various scientific fields, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. Any challenges to the theory of evolution would need to provide substantial evidence and be subject to rigorous scientific scrutiny.
Evidence for evolution includes the fossil record, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and observed instances of natural selection. These different lines of evidence all support the concept of biological evolution occurring over time.

The evidence for evolution is extensive and multi-layered, too much for me to cover comprehensively. The Wikipedia article 'Evidence of common descent' has many subcategories. these are: Evidence from genetics Evidence from palaeontology Evidence from comparative anatomy Evidence from geographical distribution Evidence from comparative physiology and biochemistry Evidence from antibiotic and pesticide resistance Evidence from complex iteration Evidence from observed speciation and adaptation Evidence from intraspecies modifications I would recommend the Wikipeidia article and I am sure there are a large number of YouTube videos dedicated to the subject.
The four broad categories of evidence used to support evolution are fossil record, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biogeography. Fossil records show transitional forms of species, comparative anatomy reveals similarities in structures across different species, molecular biology demonstrates shared genetic information, and biogeography shows patterns of species distribution.
The three forms of evidence supporting evolution are fossil record showing transitional forms, comparative anatomy highlighting similarities in structures across species, and genetic similarities indicating common ancestry.
Fossil records, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biogeography are all forms of scientific evidence that support the theory of evolution by showing how species have changed and diversified over time.
