All science can claim is hypothesis and theories, ie, guesses, both educated and uneducated until they can prove or disprove that their hypotheses, ie, guesses and theories, ie, somewhat more educated guesses.
No. Science can disprove only. When that has been done exhaustively, usually somewhat competitively, then you are left with theory, the explanation for the evidence that is not contradicted by any of the evidence.
Science has not provided any experimental evidence that evolution is possible.
Science only disproves. But that is why scientific theories are high-quality knowledge. They have been robustly tested. But all the same, they are provisional on the uncovering of further evidence to the contrary.
Do you have any evidence to the contrary?
Science is propounding that random occurrences in nature was the force that caused the evolution of lifeless chemicals to become living beings with intelligence.
What lab experiment has proven that?
No. There is no theory of abiogenesis. Next, there
is a theory of evolution by natural selection that completely explains life from the first population of a living species, whatever it was exactly, all the way to modern living species.
That has a random element to it, random mutation of genetic material, and a non-random element, which is natural selection. Those of a species which are fittest for survival in their environment will be more likely to reproduce, so there will be slow changes in most species over time.
Of course some species don't change very much because their environments don't change very much. The change is slow, over the course of hundreds of thousands of years to millions of years, and the history of doing laboratory experiments is only at best a couple of hundreds of years long. Of course the laboratory is the place where most analysis of evidence takes place, so all the lab experiments in palaeontology, comparative DNA analysis, geology and isochron dating all take place in the laboratory.
And evolution has been observed in bacteria in several different ways, from the bacteria that adapted to feeding on organic chemicals that don't occur naturally, to the recent news that an antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhoea has developed resistance to the last-use cephalosporin antibiotics and are becoming untreatable. That's evolution demonstrated in the laboratory, and it's exactly as Darwin predicted. In fact, everything in biology is.
In a lab you have the advantage that you could push the "evolution" of lifeless matter into becoming a living organism. All I am asking is that you show that science can make kittens out of tadpoles. That should be easy for science compared to us ignorant savages who believe in God and His words.
I agree that people who believe in gods are more often ignorant of science, especially in the US.
