Evolution fails to meet the criteria of being a true science.

Not remotely true. A textbook definition of science: "systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, and experimentation carried on in order to determine the nature or principles of what is being studied; any branch of knowledge or study, esp. one concerned with establishing and systematizing facts, principles, and methods, as by experiments and hypotheses."

Evolution has never been observed by anyone...

Natural selection & microevolution certainly have been observed in process. The evidence of macroevolution may also be observed throughout the paleontological record. The fundamental components of evolution may be observed via the sciences of genetics & ecology, in tandem.

and evolutionist themselves admit no transitional forms have been observed in the fossil record.

Absolutely false.

Intermediate and transitional forms

Transitional Vertebrate Fossils FAQ

Evolution has never been demonstrated in a laboratory.

Neither have any number of other scientific disciplines, such as the theory of gravitation (already raised here). However, the operant processes of evolution may certainly be in large part demonstrated and/or examined via the means described above.

None of these even come close to evolution itself actually being observed by anyone.

Absolutely false.

Unless you are prepared to prove that all the quotes presented from evolutionists who admit no transitional forms have been observed in the fossil record...are fraudulant..then you are in no position to deny them.
