How does one go about proving evolution?
The one and only method that I have learned in school, the method that science uses to prove something, is the "scientific method".
How does one apply the scientific method to satisfy the hypothesis that
"given enough time, one species of creature is able to "evolve" or change into another species?"
Sure, it is possible to prove that over time, creatures develop different traits and characteristics through "mutations" and inheritance of traits...
But this only proves the existence of mutation and traits that are inherited.
It is not viable to just simply assume that...
"through these small mutations and inherited traits and given enough time, one species can transform into a different species"
This would have to be proven..... after all, its not it is not unheard of for a creature to mutate one trait and mutate again and lose that trait...
It is totally impractical to conduct a scientific experiment that spans millions of years to observe whether or not a a create can "evolve" into another "species" of creature... (unless someone unlocks the secret to immortality)
A bird with a bit larger beak then another birds does not qualify to be a totally new species...
Similar to how a person who is taller then average is not considered non-human.
So, how is evolution using the scientific method?
If it isn't, then how is it proven?
and if evolution is not proven using scientific method... why is it considered "science"?
