Now, I'm sure you have noticed how children look like their parents. If you have ever seen a litter of puppies, you have probably noticed that most of them look like their parents. The same is true for rabbits and all living creatures. Let's assume you kept your male and female rabbits separated and had full control over their breeding. If you wanted to make more spotted rabbits, obviously the most effective way to do so would be to breed only the spotted rabbits. Wouldn't you agree that you would have more spotted rabbits after breeding only the spotted rabbits? Keep doing this for several years and soon you would have only spotted rabbits.
If you want to take humans out of the picture, imagine instead there are some wolves who eats the rabbits. Since the spotted rabbits are best camouflaged, the wolves will eat mostly white rabbits, and so the spotted ones will live longer and make more babies. In either instance, more spotted rabbits are produced.
That, my friend, is evolution. Now exactly what part of this scenario do you not believe?
