    It is. It’s a long term e. coli experiment going back decades. Also, you know, genetics and the fossil record.

      You are mistaking evidence of something for a test. In order to move from a hypothesis to a theory, you must be able to reproduce or create experiments. Because evolution is a billions-of-years activity, it can’t be tested. So while it’s likely a fact, we really can’t even call it a theory unless you’ve got a billion years or so to create a test.

        Dude, look up the E. Coli evolution study. It’s an experiment showing evolution in action.

        It is a scientific theory. Just like gravity.

          Very interesting. Got way too much into the weeds for me to follow all the way through, but point taken.
