Just b/c your christian beliefs may not support this does not mean we did not evolve from reptiles.
The oldest most primitive part of our brain has reptilian in it's name.
If there were never people thinking outside the box (like you) and believed in just shit they can see. The world would still be flat.

Has nothing to do with my beliefs whatsoever. It has everything to do with facts. We did not evolve from reptiles and just because someone decided to say we have a reptilian part of the brain doesn't mean we actually do. All it means is that we have a part of the brain which is responsible for more instinctual actions like a reptiles.
Also ROFL at your last sentence. You do realize that being able to observe something is a fundamental requirement of science right?
Science: The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
Notice how it says observation AND experiment? It's rather important because if it can't be observed then it isn't science. Show me an experiment of a reptile producing something other than a reptile please? Oh it takes millions of years and therefor isn't observable so you can't actually show anyone that it can actually happen? How convenient. However and unfortunately for you, it's not science by the very definition of the word.

You don't understand the implications of sexual reproduction.
Your idea doesn't hold water because only asexual organisms are clones of their parents.
If you cannot grasp how populations can change over time due to variance in the size and shape of an organisms body parts in response to changing environmental conditions you have not been educated sufficiently.
Speciation has been observed and studied in the field.
Read "The Beak of the Finch".

Sorry but you're wrong. Nobody argues that populations can change over time, that's rather obvious. However, what is argued is the extent to which a population can change. No living thing can change into a different kind of organism than what it is. I've read "The Break of the Finch" but guess what, they are all finches. This is microevolution. Nobody argues that finches can appear differently from one to the next but finches are ALWAYS going to be finches. Much like how no two snow flakes are ever the same, no life form is ever the same. Even "identical" twins are never the same. Show me a finch producing something that isn't a finch or show me something that isn't a finch producing one. That would be the version of evolution you falsely think exists.
