No science is based on observable data that can be repeated and studied, evolution can not be proven in this manner. Evolution is comprised of deductions from observances, that is not proof. Evolution is as faith or belief based as religion.

There have been thousands of experiments conducted that are reproducible that support evolution

No science is based on observable data that can be repeated and studied,...

I assume you meant, "No, science is based on observable data..."

That is correct. And all branches of science, including the various branches of science that contribute to the theory of evolution, must comply with this. It is called the scientific method.

...evolution can not be proven in this manner.

Nowhere in science is there "proof." Theory is the highest level of explanation that is available.

Evolution is comprised of deductions from observances, that is not proof.

It is not supposed to be proof. Science does not deal in "proof." It deals in explanation. The theory of evolution is currently the best explanation for the millions of facts that it covers. It is not contradicted by any significant facts. It makes predictions that lead to new facts. That is all that any theory can be expected to do, and in this the theory of evolution is a better explanatory tool than gravitational theory.

Evolution is as faith or belief based as religion.

That is false, even though that is one of the recent creationist talking points.

When two religions come up with competing claims, how is the issue settled? Most likely a schism, resulting in two similar religions with some differences in belief.

When there are two competing claims in science you turn to the evidence to see which one survives the tests (that "critical thinking" stuff).

The theory of evolution has withstood these tests for 150 years, and grown stronger with each challenge. All of that is based on evidence, not faith.

Hardcore Evolutionists are for Big Government and Centralization of Power by Liberals.

Hatred for all things ‘Biblical’ defines the modern hardcore liberal Evolutionists on Free Republic and their allies in the leadership of the Democrat Party, (the far left leaders of the Democrat Party are all hardcore evolutionists).

Both of these groups hate American historical values, they love liberal judges and judcial activist courts, and both of these groups worship the Big Government public school monopoly above all.

No matter how destructive the Public School Monopoly becomes, the hardcore Evolutionists will still worship the Big Government Public School.

The Free Republic Hardcore Evolutionists and the other Big Government Lefties love the Big Government Public Schools because it is their way of using the point of a gun to promote their materialistic religious views.

The hardcore evolutionists on Free Republic who claim to be small government libertarians are the worst liars of all and have proven they are actually for the worst extreme of Big Government Force. In fact they blubber about their Big Government Public Schools in almost every thread.

The Free Republic Hardcore Evolutionists always appeal to Big Government and favor an Oligarchy.

The Free Republic hardcore evolutionists worship Big Government at its very worst (public school monopoly) but claim libertarianism as a convenient, dishonest excuse for the extreme moral liberalism they spew on this conservative forum.

The Free Republic Hardcore Evolutionists are liars of the worst kind. They repeat the liberal dogma of the far left at DU and the Daily Kos.

Like all liberals, they want the Big Government, centalized power to undermine parental authority while using Big Government Public Schools, (run by liberals) to indoctrinate other people's children.
