In the Jan. 29 Monitor, there is an interesting and bold assertion (in response to my Jan. 22 letter). The gentleman from Meredith says that “evolution is a fact.”

Wow! Has he the evidence? Does anyone? Where and when has it ever been scientifically demonstrated where one species became another?

I do not believe that it has ever been done. As far as I know, there can indeed be modifications in an organism. But after many thousands of years, a fox is still a fox and a dog is still a dog. An ape is still an ape and a man is still a man. Beyond that all is theory and speculation, including many unproven assumptions.
