Evolution is studied, added to, things removed, fossils placed in one part are removed and placed in another.

Evolution is studied and CHANGED EVERY day, evolution of today is TOTALLY unrecognizable to Darwins Theory of evolution, the modern evolutionary theory is so far beyond Darwin's original that it is insane.

This reminds of the old Bill Cosby routine about starting off all conflicts with a coin toss:

Aric2000 of the Evolutionists, this is f.Christian of the Creationists.

f.Christian of the Creationists, this is Aric2000 of the Evolutionists.

If you'd please shake hands? All right!

Okay, Creationists, call the toss!

Creationists call heads, it's tails!

Aric2000, you've won the toss, what are you gonna do?

Aric2000 says the Evolutionists will change their theory as they see fit, depending on what bones they've found today. They'll be allowed to reclassify and reconfigure all past theories to make them come in line with the current theory. And they don't need to say where life came from in the first place. In short, the Theory of Evolution can not be disproved because it's constantly evolving: by definition, the current theory is the fittest.

Creationists, you'll have to prove the existence of an extreme being, and accept the Bible literally.

Actually, the process of revising a theory involves disproving the previous incarnation. The previous incarnation is falsified because it runs contrary to newly discovered evidence, so a new one is created in its place.

Falsification of a theory does not necessarily imply throwing it out completely. Newton's theories were falsified, but they still have useful applications.

Please see post 285.

You obviously do not like the way science works.

Oh, well, yes, our ideas and evidence change regularly, but the basic theory is sound, it is where all the pieces fit that is in question at this time.

That is how the theory changes, it grows, with each new fossil find or DNA evidence, when a part of the theory is falsified, that part is removed and the new part is put in it's place, until that evidence is falsified and replaced by the new evidence.

Why do you have such a problem with this?
