Evolution is not science because science is observation and no one observed evolution.
I just disproved evolution in 13 words.

Yeah. Except for, you know, all the documented cases in which it's been observed. Wow, I just disproved YOU.
Not all evidence has to be witnessed as it's formed. If it were, you could hold the bloody knife, standing over the murder victim, whom you had told everyone you were going to stab, confess to the crime, and, by Lukian rules, be aquitted for lack of evidence.
All your 13 words proved was that you don't know what you're talking about.

Unlucky thirteen, eh? Observation of evolution generally takes place at the level of the fossil record. Of course, scientists have observed bacteria evolving in order to better adapt to their environment. For example: bacteria can be "force-evolved" to become resistant to antibiotics under lab conditions.
Loser.
No one observed this God fellow, either, so God doesn't exist. I disproved YOU in eleven. Beat that!
Also, "observation" doesn't mean "presence at new event." Evolution can be observed through fossil evidence, carbon-dating, and other scientific methods.
So, according to this arguement...
There were no-one to witness the myth of creation.
THUS IT'S WRONG, LALALALALALAL I CAN'T HEAR YOOUUUUU
Except that evolution (of organisms with short generations, such as bacteria) has been observed.
On the plus side, your misplaced arrogance is amusing :)
You just disproved your intelligence in 13 words. That is all.
Ask Dr Lenski about observing evolution, or the ones who have to make a new flu vaccine almost every year.
fundie: evolution is impossible! chickens don't change into monkeys! that's inobservable. animals don't become other animals!
answer: that's impossible. evolution takes way, way more time to change species A into species B.
fundie: ah! but then it's inobservable and therefore not science! boy am I smart!
And yet, evolution is still being taught around the world (yes, there is a world outside the US), it is still being confirmed by evidence and it is still producing real world results that centuries of creationism never approached.
Maybe you should have used 14 words.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
