Observation in a scientific context does not mean "I have to see it happen in order for it to be true". A scientific observation is the identifying of a phenomenon - apples fall to the ground, exposure to this substance causes sickness, species alive today are different to ones now extinct yet similar enough to be related etc. Having made the observation, the next step is to create tentative hypotheses to account for the phenomenon and devise experiments to test them against the observed reality.

No trying to steal the man's dream, Stimbo.
Besides, I think he's aspiring to Ham.

That's like aspiring to be what pond scum scrapes off its shoes.

Never mind the fact that we have indeed observed speciation over time.

Just not in a way that satisfies the strawman of evolution that Huggy insists on using instead of the actual definition.

Crap, I totally forgot that he is the judge of all that is sound and scientific. And it's too late to edit!

I respectfully disagree; he really is a fucking simpleton.
Sorry but is he a simpleton, yes or no?

ROFL!
I have a day off and miss this? Anyone wondering how deep a hole this moron can dig himself into?
The world according to Huggy:

It doesn't even require the caveat of differing genetically. Again how is that different from what I said?
I, on the other hand I've made it very clear that I DO NOT consider that to define a different species, because by that same definition a Masai warrior in Africa is isolated from intermixing GEOGRAPHICALLY, with the hill tribes of Vietnam, yet they aren't considered a different species. Also you could make a case for different groups of people not intermixing behaviorally. So explain how YOUR definition excludes Humans?
You are real close to understanding Huggy. Look at the variety within the human species that resulted from geographic isolation in a relatively short amount of time. Is it really inconceivable to you that continuing the population isolation for a couple million years would result in speciation?
