Did you not read where I pointed out to you that ALL science is based upon extrapolation.

When Galileo dropped weights off the tower of Pisa it was not to establish that balls of equal size but different weights fall at the same rate when dropped off the tower of Pisa - but to demonstrate that they would fall at the same rate no matter where they were dropped - and not just those two specific balls - but applicable to all balls of equal sizes but different weights.

Evolution is both testable and replicable. If I subject a bacterial population derived from a single bacteria and plated on ten different plates to ten different stresses - we can find adaptive evolutionary responses from all ten plates time and time again.

Antibiotic resistance to novel antibiotics have been real life observations of evolution in action - one with dramatic consequences to human health.

Because you don't really understand evolution I will give you a pas for claiming that the cause could be considered supernatural. If you knew the first thing about science or the theory of evolution you would know that the cause of evolution is far from supernatural (as your compatriot betty-boop claims that the evolution she says she accepts has “spiritual” causation).

There are none so blind as those shown the evidence but who refuse to deal with it.

Science is of use. Creationism is useless.

Deal with it.

Indeed. One of my greatest challenges in graduate school was to minimize environment stresses so that my mammalian cells would NOT evolve. Danged things evolved anyway, generally making them useless after 15-20 passages.

Evolution is not only an ongoing process, it is impossible to stop.

Antibiotic resistance is hardly evolution, clearly it’s been you all along that doesn’t understand science.

And speaking of Galileo...LOL... and the blind and those refusing to deal with the evidence and so on; don’t mind us chuckling at the irony of your choosing Galileo of all people, to contort yourself into a corner. Again:
