The gathering of data for years and years is not the scientific method, only a part. The Evolution theories (more than one) have never completed the scientific method.

If one conducts scientific investigations for years and years and gathers data in the process using the scientific method---that's science. If one does it for one hour--that's science. The time is irrelevant to the process. To say, "the evolution series never completed the scientific method," makes no sense. You write like English is not your native language and like science is alien to you. Your statements border on the nonsensical.

I must say your position has been greatly fortified with the new defense procedures, name calling and the implication of stupidity of your opponent. Bravo.

Gathering data is a process within the method and the method has an intended completion period. You do not gather data using the method, but within the method.

Macro Evolution theories have not completed the method, they are within the method. It is a theory with data holes and differences in hypothesis, all in process. While many may accept one or more hypothesis as a working theory it has not completed the method and other theories should be embraced as part of the whole discovery process.

scientific method: The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis and a conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis.

Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment: empirical laws
