But then again, your views are based on belief, since the fossil record changes can't be duplicated and observed in a controlled environment as real science would be performed.

Nonsense. You have a very misguided and faulty understanding of how observation and duplication are used in the scientific method. Here, read this to get a clue: Explaining the Scientific Method

P.S. Are you now going to call me a liar for stating my belief/opinion?

Of course not, don't be snotty. I will, however, point out that you have declared your admittedly unsupported and unsupportable belief as if they were established facts. This is reckless behavior.

"Nonsense".

So you are disagreeing with my statement:
"the fossil record changes can't be duplicated and observed in a controlled environment as real science would be performed."

That's interesting. I would love to see where you have recreated and duplicated in the lab one of the transitions of Coyoteman's skull fossils from one skull which was found to the next one in the tree.

I did read your link, though.

W.R.T. "concerning how science tests things which can't be directly observed", you can test for the existence of a phenomenon caused by quarks and other particles. These experiments can be duplicated and verified. This is not even remotely comparable to what goes on in the study of evolution. And your link compares the evidence for common descent to the evidence for O.J. as a killer. (Science is now down to what is Beyond a Reasonable doubt? It's a poor state of existence that science is in if that's the case. Poor Newton must be spinning in his grave.) It's not a FACT that O.J. killed his wife. The only thing we know is that there is lots of evidence linking him to the crime but we don't factually know that he did it. Most people only BELIEVE that he did since there were no witnesses.

"I will, however, point out that you have declared your admittedly unsupported and unsupportable belief as if they were established facts. "

You're partly right. I have declared a belief but it is not completely unsupported. I haven't claimed it as if it were established fact, though. I said the opposite: I said it was a belief.

But I also added that since you can't go back and duplicate the findings that you purport as established fact then yours is a system of belief, also. Just like with O.J.

BTW, the gloves didn't fit.
