I guess you'd have to be a zillion years old to do that.

How can you test evolution?

Based on Intelligent Design "Theory," would you expect to find wasps in the fossil record before or after ants?

Several ways to falsify evolution:

Finding an undisturbed site with fossils that are dated at an age well outside of accepted norms. For example, finding a contemporary rabbit fossil in with dinosaur bones, or finding a fully developed reptile in Cambrian strata.

Also, an non-controversial piece of data disputing age determinations in all fields would be a grand test of evolution.

Scientists create tests for various models of evolution every time they write a paper. The paper is the report on the result of the test. It's the way science works.
