Clearly your complete and total inability to grasp scientific evidence is on display for all to see.

I am sure you see electricity as magic and that when lightning strikes it is "God is Angry."

How you reconcile wireless connections is beyond me but I suspect it is something like "invisible angels move bits from place to place." I guess you pray to these invisible angels to keep your radio and TV connections going daily.

I am sure toilet flushing is beyond your ability to reckon. Just write it up to more magic.

We must first determine what we are talking about when we use the terms "Science" and "Evolution"

I. Science. According to the Oxford Dictionary science is "A branch of study which is concerned either with a connected body of demonstrated truths or with observed facts systematically classified and more or less colligated by being brought under general laws, and which includes trustworthy methods for the discovery of new truth within its own domain."

For a postulate to qualify as a scientific theory is must fulfill three basic criteria.

1. The postulate must be observable.

2. The postulate must be capable of repeatable experimental verification.

3. The postulate must withstand a falsifiability test, or an experiment must be conceived the failure of which would disprove the postulate.

Neither evolution nor creation can meet the above three criteria and thus are not theories but postulates. In fact neither are fully capable of becoming theories because of the limits of observing events that happened many years in the past.
