Evolution takes too long to observe.

You can't observe it therefore it's not scientific.

Since when was observability a requirement for science? Also, yes we can observe it, we do everyday.

if you can't test it, it's not science.

has been tested, and confirmed. If you need proof, simply looked to the nearest dog. About 10,000 years ago, his ancestors looked a lot like wolves. But then humans created an artificial form of evolution known as 'selective breeding', and the varying breeds of dogs have been created as a result.

Saging in a troll thread!

the universe takes too long to observe. Since we cant observe it it doesn't exist.

obvious fag is obvious.

Geological change takes too long to observe. You can't observe it therefore it's not scientific.

Radioactive decay of uranium-238 takes too long to observe. You can't observe it therefore it's not scientific.

Sure you can. It's unfortunate that you don't understand what constitutes an acceptable test, but that deficiency is entirely your own.

You can observe it yourself through many generations of a species that reproduces quickly. Simply get a colony of bacteria or some sort of insect and insert an outside force which selects only certain traits to be more successful. Eventually the population will consist mainly of individuals containing the trait that has been selected for, because ones with the traits that were selected for were more likely to survive and reproduce. This isn't hard to understand.
