How were their ages established just by observing?
From your supporting resource: A new species is one in which the individuals cannot mate and produce viable descendants with individuals of a preexisting species.
So tell me, when did this sudden change happen based on another article that is up your alley?

I hope you notice all the questionable data referenced in this article. Nothing has been verified. Matter of fact most everything is still up in the air awaiting the great enlightening. While I cannot "prove" that the theory of evolution is true
WOW! What a revelation. So if you can't prove it why is it taught as the only answer to our being? Your data cannot be proven so to me it is inconclusive and should not be taught.
Here is some helpful data from another source: To the average person, the most powerful witness to claims of vast prehistoric ages is the testimony of sometimes thousands of feet of sedimentary-rock layers and the fossils they contain. The sight of the Grand Canyon with its layer upon layer of sedimentary rock seems to imply the requirement of vast amounts of time. Evolutionists believe and propose that each layer represents an ancient world that long since perished. Recent-creationists, on the other hand, believe that these rock layers were all deposited quickly under catastrophic conditions in the relatively recent past. The occurrence of polystrate fossils in numerous places around the world is one dramatic piece of evidence that the recent-creationists may be right. In order to see why, remember that fossil formation requires rapid burial and sealing from atmospheric and surface elements. Any organic material, such as wood, that is so exposed will not turn into a fossil. Rather, it will rot. Therefore, just as with the whale in the diatomite deposit, the entire length of a fossil tree trunk had to be buried quickly in order for it to fossilize. However, in polystrate fossils, these tree trunks extend vertically and are incorporated into rock layers supposedly laid down in epochs separated by millions of years of time. The most obvious and straightforward interpretation of these fossils is that the sedimentary layers engulfing them were laid down in rapid succession during a single catastrophe in the past. They constitute a sort of frozen clock from the past, indicating that terrible things occurred—not over millions of years but very quickly.
By the way, you never answered my question of "where did the spruce tree seed come from? And since we are here please provide an explanation of why there are so many different languages if we are all descended from same kind.
