"Well evolution certainly can't produce such an experiment. This subject matter doesn't lend itself to such textbook experiments."

Actually, in experiments, you are not really trying to prove anything true, that is impossible. You are trying to prove it false. The problem of proving something true, is that you can run an experiment 1000 times, 10,000 times and have it validate your hypothesis. But if you run another experiment, and it proves your hypothesis false, out it goes (the hypothesis, not the experiment), or at least you have to go back and modify your hypothesis.

So, yes, YOU DO need to prove it false.

What you are posting about experiments is irrevelant. That is, unless you wish to demonstrate experiments proving evolution? Is that what you are suggesting?

In the meantime many of us will continue to push for competing theories such as intelligent design to be taught alongside evolution in the classroom. I'm not sure why I would want evolution to be taught at all other than it is sort of the incumbent theory many academians have bought into and worship etc. Although evolution will continue to die a slow death it isn't going away anytime soon.
