[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please excuse the questions, but is evolution really science? I thought it was a theory. It's neither testable nor reproducible nor observable. Thought you needed those things to validate a scientific theory.[/quote]

Evolution is a theory.  So is the idea of gravity.  Theory is a scientific word for an explanation.

You can't directly observe either evolution or gravity, you can only observe the results.  But you can use both evolution and gravity to make predictions.  If predictions are confirmed over and over again, as they have been for both evolution and gravity, then we would say that that theory is science.

Creationism isn't based on science.  There is zero scientific evidence to support it.  People who believe in creationism are either deeply religious people who accept the Bible or another religious text as evidence, or they are idiots who don't understand science.  [/quote]
Can you please show predictions of evolution coming true "over and over again"? Evolution as a theory originated in the 1800s. How have we been able to predict it's results and have it borne out empirically since then?[/quote]
