Question:
Evolutionists: I was told that empiracal evidence is when an experiment can be repeated and attain the same?
I'm a nice person

results each time and have those results reviewed by peers and affirmed that it happens the same each time or something like that. So how many of you have watched evolution occur and then had it occur again and again and then have the experiment you WATCHED reviewed by others who also watched it occur and then have that process reviewed by those who also watched it? COME ON NOW!!!! AT least be consistent in your definition of "empiracal" proof!!!!!!!!!LOL

We have observed in fossils that creatures do indeed evolve.

Obviously, we can't repeat actual evolution in a lab, except for very limited cases. Evolution is historical in nature. We have to look at evidence from the past.



However, we have predicted where to dig and how deep to find certain things. That's a prediction.



Evolution also allowed us to predict what would fit where on the three of life from its DNA structure, before we had the tools to do complete DNA analysis.

And so you just automatically accept whatever you are told as the truth? Does it ever occur to you to check what you are told by consulting a dictionary? Or maybe that would be too much like work. You want others to be consistent in defining "empirical," but you're too lazy to even learn how to spell the term correctly. What a sad case.

You don't have to personally witness it. That's why we have peer review, so scientists can't just make sh!t up.



Speciation has been observed many times, yes. We also observe it indirectly in the fossil record. Not to mention evolutions strongest evidence, DNA.



Only severely uninformed people deny evolution. Or stupid people as well, I suppose.

Sigh. Again, it's EMPIRICAL. Geez, at least spell it correctly.



Who gave you the idea that the only evidence considered by science is "empirical" evidence anyway? You're only demonstrating your ignorance of science and the scientific method.



Peace.

Science requires that OBSERVATIONS be repeatable. Again, you fail at grasping the scientific method.

Have you ever seen anyone walk on water?

How about come back from the dead?

What about turning water into wine?

lulz goal posts in action, from empiracal [sic] evidence to empiracal [sic] proof.
