Dear confused JFreddy:
JFreddy, you seem to be living at time when Kant had just died and Darwin had not yet been born. Let the Mighty Galt then bring you up to speed, JFreddy.
Observable events may now transend time. Observation is not merely held as a momemtary event to be recorded painstakingly by pencil and pad. Man, through his infinite capacity of invention, has extended his perceptual realm by the adjunct of technology to his own limited biological faculties.
When a scientist looks back in time, he 'sees' the evidence for evolution everywhere. Evolution is not simply a record of isolated and disparate events filled in by a 'story'. Rather, it's in how the information links and 'reveals' trends, patterns of change, continuity, and other such manifestations that leap out to the observer and catches
his eye. . . not unlike how the moon catches one's eye. Evolution is not in itself a story, but, rather, a discovery of a 'lawfulness in nature' and the evidence for it is preponderant.
Now it is true that scientists attempt to 'complete' particular links by speculation. Theorizing does not invalidate what is already known.
You are confused, JFreddy. What is important are the linkages that have already been established that go beyond mere coincidence. Again, the evidence is overwhelming. . . well, you can do the probability calculations for chance in your own mind.
Your proposition to apply a test for evolution that was similiarly used for 'relativity' is misguided. Many predictions of evolution have already come to fruition, only they are missing the glamour of a single solitary cosmic event. They require time. Take the prediction for the evolution of antibiotic resistant viral strains or the predictive coefficents of mutation rates in mitochnodrial DNA.
Evolution describes for us the mechanism of change that occurs in nature and the universe. Every discpline in the sciences have adapted it and new disciplines with a primary focus on evolution are emerging and
replacing the old. If, JFreddy, you reject evolution, then you reject science.
And, yet, you have the b*lls to ask the Great Galt and [the munificent, magnificent, magnanomous and mighty] Father Terrence to backup our contention that 'cosmology is history' by proof of authority from the same science community you reject.
DO YOUR SCIENCE, JFREDDY! YOU SEEM TO BE STUCK IN THE EIGHTEENTH
CENTURY OR SOMETHING. . . unless, of course, you are simply j***ing-off.
