  There is no "this form of evolution" without proof, and one cannot point to
these juveniles and embryos and simply label them "adults" without further
proof. What the future will see is the argument from nothing, that someone has
asked people to suspend their disbelief and just "accept" these are adults,
without any primary data (none has been forthcoming). This is a matter of faith
and religion, and for most reasonable people, is kept well separate from
science which does not tamper in faith.
