You can replicate the observations done to establish it.

Same thing with evolution. You can go to a natural history museum and see some transitional fossils for yourself. Or go dig. Paleantologists find scores of such fossils every year. You can replicate all the genetic studies that demonstrate common descent.

Allegedly, dinosaurs evolved into birds.

Yes, and there are scores of dinosaur-like birds and bird-like dinsaurs that back up this allegation.

But it's not like a dinosaur one day gave birth to a bird. Some dinosuars gave birth to other dinosaurs that had a few bird-like characteristics. Some of those, in turn, gave birth to others that had a few more, and so on of a couple million years, until finally a population of birds was born. The line between dinosaur and bird is very blurry with all the creatures that came inbetween the endpoints.

primates evolved into humans.

Humans are primates.

Allegedly, evolution is still going on today, but no one has ever observed it

Sure we have. Evolution is observarable. And yes, the formation of new species has been observed many times within the last 100 years.

and all attempts at cuasing it by crossing species result in sterile animals like mules.

Ugh, that's the very definition of seperate species: the inability to produce fertile crosses. This has nothing to do with the theory of evolution.

BTW, there are some groups of animals in which it is unclear whether they are a seperate species or not. Google "ring species."

Evolution is a particularly unconvincing theory that critters fossilized in some rocks turned into critters fossilized in other rocks, and then eventually into modern animals.

It's only unconvincing to those who willfully blind themselves to the evidence.

But it all must be taken on faith - no one saw it happen, and no one has observed it occurring today.

Wrong on both counts.
