There is no necessity it must be done in a laboratory at all.

A laboratory is not confined to a building with test tubes and such. I think you assume way too much.

Produce an experiment where one species has been changed into a totally new and distinctively different phylum.

Then you can talk about evolution being science.

That is as ridiculous as saying "produce an experiment where a cloud of gas turns into a red dwarf star - then you can talk about cosmology being science.

Or "Produce an experiment where a continent moves several thousand kilometers - then you can talk about plate techtonics being science.

Science is not reliant on experiments in the traditional sense. Observations alone can be used to create and test hypothese (I say "in the traditional sense" because tests are a form of experiment)
