The Lost One
How many times do creationists, including yourself, needs reminding that sciences require evidence to test their theories or new hypotheses, not proofs.Evolution supposes that everything evolved without proof that's possible, and the way that's pushed is to appeal to time making anything possible by chance.
Evidence are physical, in the case with Evolution, for examples, morphological comparisons between species, genetic test results such as DNA or RNA and DNA comparison, fossil discoveries and records, the dating techniques (radiometric dating of fossils, minerals or rocks that were found around or near the fossils), etc, these are all evidence and data collected from samples and testings. They are all evidence of Evolution; THEY ARE NOT PROOFS of Evolution.
Proofs are merely "logical models" or "logical statements", like mathematical equations. Proofs are often expressed in mathematical form, like equations, formulas, variables, constants and numbers. And while mathematical equations are useful tools in sciences (as well as technology and engineering), especially in physics, equations are themselves, not evidence.
Proofs are logical tools, abstract and conceptual, but they are not the same as physical evidence.
Evidence are either natural phenomena or are samples of (or parts of) natural phenomena. And if these evidence are physical, then they must have observable physical characteristic that could be detected (or observed) and can be quantitatively measured in some ways.
Quantities and measurements are useful "observed" data in any sciences, and they are often considered part of the evidence.
For instances, in forensic science during homicide investigation, the forensic team will gather any physical evidence and trace evidence they can find at the scene, while medical examiner will examine the body itself, also doing various tests to find out that person die. They examine, they test, they will compare and match evidence. Often the testings involved measurements, which they will record in their respective reports.
But back to Evolution.
Evidence are the only ways to test if the theory of Evolution is correct and true.
And the only way to refute or debunk Evolution, are again with physical evidence (plus data), not with mathematical equations (proofs).
I am not a biologist, but there are decades of evidence that support Evolution, not just in fossil records, but through the genome tests of extant species.
And not just Natural Selection; evidence that support other evolutionary mechanisms like Genetic Drift, Mutations and Gene Flow.
