[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's observed and tested every time a scientist makes a new discovery of a fossil, a species, or maps out a genome. They either prove or disprove the theory. Hypothetically, if a human fossil is discovered right to a dinosaur fossil, that is an observation related to evolution, it is a test of what we know about evolution, and it is repeatable every time we find a similar discovery in any of the various lines of evidence.  In this hypothetical case, with a human and dinosaur fossil found together,  it would disprove what we know about evolution. But so far it hasn't happened.

If you want to look at one recent study of "predicting evolution" or something, Google an study called "predicting evolution with generalized models of divergent selection: a case study with poeciliid fish" by R. Brian Langerhans. It's available for free on icb.oxfordjournals.org maybe that's more what you are looking for. [/quote]
Funny how finding a human and a dinosaur together would disprove evolution. There are millions of different species with varying degrees of complexity all over the world. If you believe evolution is "science," do you believe this is the final state of things? If so, haven't you just contradicted yourself? And if you don't believe we're in the final state of things (which I assume you don't), why would the current millions of species not disprove evolution, but a dinosaur and a human found together disprove it. Does the fossil record have just one species around at a time? I think the fossil record shows incredible diversity no matter when you look at it. Maybe I'm wrong about that.[/quote]

I'm  not sure what you are getting at. Maybe rephrase? I was giving a simplistic example of something that would throw a hink into what we know today. The fossil record does time and geo stamp when certain species existed. If something were found that contradicted what we know of what existed when, we'd have to gather more data and rethink the hypothesis. Science does that all the time. [/quote]
