Also evolution and physics are more similar than you think. There are plenty of physical models like gravitation, where *we have no idea* why they work like they do. We just know that we can observe them.

Evolution is no different. We can observe the outcomes of evolution(fossils of extinct species, similarities of DNA in related species etc...) and even limited examples of speciation(drosophila, green warblers and salamanders).


Please do a thorough study of the concepts of extrapolation, interpolation and observation.

You have been doing one claiming you're doing another and it's not science.

Hate to break it to you snoogums, but evolution can be observed(drosophila), interpolated(the fossil record) and extrapolated(DNA variation).

Let's think about gravity for a second. We can observe it(mass attracts) but we still have to extrapolate what in the blazes causes it(a gravitational particle?). Does that mean that gravity is "just a theory"?
