A scientific theory requires observable evidence, must be subject to repeated testing, and must be falsifiable.

Evolution meets none of these criteria.

I don't understand what you're saying. Again, there are other methods of detection without actual pictures in the visible spectrum. I'm not sure why or if that's an issue.

If you would just answer the following questions, then we can engage in a discussion concerning the validity of ToE as a scientific theory.

Why do you believe that there is observable evidence for evolution?

What is your definition of evolution?

Please answer in your own words.

You did not answer the questions - you posted a list of links and videos.

Harrier wants to know what you think, not what someone else thinks.

More importantly, he wants to know why you think as you do.

We've been here before. You don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand why you're so opposed to learning. I suggest you read this thread at a slower pace and not just in fragments... but in full sentences.

You're constantly spewing incorrect info and it's not doing anything but wasting your own time.

I'll ask again, where is the proof that Earth is under 20,000 years old?

Evolution has been observed at all levels. Constantly ignoring evidence (while simultaneously asking for it) isn't helping your position.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps this discussion is above your aptitude. It's the only way to explain why you keep asking the same question over and over when it's well documented as fact everywhere and has been answered in this very own thread.
