At a biological level theres ZERO evidence for DNA being able to transmute itself into a totally different DNA producing a different species from the former. It simply doesnt exist. Unfortunately most Biologists have careers and a livelyhood to think about which means means notables like Dawkins are suitably incentivised financially and ideaologically to fix the evidence around their objective, which in turn requires the neccesary mental gymnastics and dissonance required to reconcile these opposing positions.
The elephant in the room which evolutionists totally ignore though is Anthropology. The oldest Anthropological evidence is just over 4000 years old. This is an empircal fact which due to the nature of Anthropology is not stymied by the inaccuracies of carbon dating techniques.
In essence the age of the civilisations -who incidentally emerged suddenly in the fossil record- is not contemporaneous with any of the suggested and more ancient dates for mankind which depending on who you speak to range from hundreds of thousands of years to millions of years. Thus according to evolution man went from an Ape and whatever species the Ape purportedly evolved from and son on to cognitive humans and civilisation with art, language, polities, religion, agriculture etc etc literally within a blink of an eye.
Quite ironic the huge leapt of faith required to believe such nonsense.
