If that is the case then I would have been convinced by your examples but I am not, why am I not convinced yet?
First hit on google for "evolution observed in nature"
Observable:
8 Examples of Evolution in Action
Testable and repeatable:
Silver Foxes Change Rapidly… and in Surprising Ways
Also see 1. Evolution in the Lab in the previous link for another experiment. Anyone can repeat these experiments.
Falsifiable:
What would falsify evolution
- If it could be shown that organisms with identical DNA have different genetic traits.
- If it could be shown that mutations do not occur.
- If it could be shown that when mutations do occur, they are not passed down through the generations.
- If it could be shown that although mutations are passed down, no mutation could produce the sort of phenotypic changes that drive natural selection.
- If it could be shown that selection or environmental pressures do not favor the reproductive success of better adapted individuals.
- If it could be shown that even though selection or environmental pressures favor the reproductive success of better adapted individuals, "better adapted individuals" (at any one time) are not shown to change into other species.
I'm not entirely convinced by this last list which is why I said (and which you ignored) "It is falsifiable in that you could demonstrate that what we are observing works by means other than inherited traits, mutation of genetic information and natural selection." But I'm not going to put too much effort into it because I know you're not going to accept anything I say, and will either ignore it or come up with a load of bullshit about kinds and microevolution. But this is just from two minutes with google. If you were genuinely interested in whether you were correct or not you could find out a lot more yourself, or ask genuine questions.
8 Examples of Evolution in Action are all examples of variation within a kind they are not evolution.
Fact: There have been no lab observation of evolution happening such as life coming from non life, only mutations has ever been observed in the lab and mutations are not evolution but variation within a kind, mutations don't increase the genetic information but rather corrupts some parts of DNA and we get a decrease in genetic information in other words devolution not evolution and mutations don't change the kind it is still the same kind.
Silver black fox- Again that is not evolution but variation within the dog family kind.

particular theory of evolution, inspect the interpretation, and note that it
confirms the theory. Well, it would, wouldn’t it?"
