Ok, not that I really ever like getting into to this, but evolution is ABSOLUTELY NOT AN OBSERVED FACT.

Paleontologists have studied different fauna and flora from different aged stratas, found different fossil remains, and have made INFERENCES as to the relation of the observed fossil finds. NO ONE, unless thay are millions of years old, can have actually observed evolution. but if you believe in evolution, that could not have happened either because you would now be extinct.

This is incorrect. Evolution does not require a timescale of millions of years to occur. Evolution -- albeit of a lesser magnitude -- can occur within human lifetimes, and this has been observed.

Evolution is defined as ongoing change no matter how large or small or whether by nature or reproduction. Look in a mirror, if you are exactly like your parents and there is not the slightest different then you are a clone. However if there is the slightest difference no matter how small some change (evolution) has occurred. A theory cannot exist without a observed material fact supported by evidence and empirical evidence. It is the definition of the scientific method.

Thank You for that. I think the same way and have tried to say the same thing.
