Prove that evolution is observable.
Your first premise is false
Second premise is false
Conclusion is also false because it doesn't follow the two premises.
Therefore, the argument is invalid, it is not sound and false.
Yes,all they say is 2 billions years ago.
there is a method called "carbon 14", if someone dies today and its skeleton is examined using carbon 14 it can tell roughly when the person dies. so, when they sanpy 2 billion years ago, they mean it. its not a guessing work.
Guys, this is one of the most interesting debate. Today i came across this paper by Dr Henry, i welcome all of us to examine what he has argued in light of what we are debating. Itasaidia kama tutapata masuala ua ku-raise;

cc Nyani Ngabu, bukoba boy, iArmaniAdamson, descarte,
I think people are confused with the word theory.
The definition of theory.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, theory can be understood in two ways.
Theory, Sense 1: A scheme or system of ideas or statements held as an explanation or account of a group of facts or phenomena; a hypothesis that has been confirmed or established by observation or experiment, and is propounded or accepted as accounting for the known facts; a statement of what are held to be the general laws, principles, or causes of something known or observed. Theory, Sense 2: A hypothesis proposed as an explanation; hence, a mere hypothesis, speculation, conjecture; an idea or set of ideas about something; an individual view or notion.
You seem to use theory in the second sense but science or Biology uses it in a first sense.
The first definition of theory makes evolution theory to be a fact just a Heliocentric is a theory.
It's in this sense evolution theory is a fact.
Evolution theory can be proved by modern science and the evidences are so overwhelmingly compelling.
They don't mean it,they beleive it.in other words they relay on faith to back up their theory.
Prove that evolution is observable.
In fact, there are some species who evolve in our life and Scientists are able study them and discovery this great thing shown on earth.
We can see their evolving process. This is one of the prove.
Hapo juu iamArmanAdamson kasema no one can live to observe evolution, why are these things u are saying possible?
Of course Evolution is a long process
it took place when no one was born. It is a process of billion of years.Thats why we can only study the available evidences like fossil, Embryo,Genes and fossils.
However there are exceptional for evolution at times evolution takes place with scientist life time whereby a scientist is able to study and see. Sometime it takes faster just a number of decades for species to evolve.
Your first two sentences point to faith.
What about other theories of evolution/ origin of life?is it only darwin's theory which redirect to the reality?

carbon 14 inaweakness nyingi tuu katika upimaji haileti kwa asilimia 100
evidence za evolutio zipo nyingi ila nakutajia chache.Wanaukumbi,
Evolution is among the most debated theories in biological sciences. Propagated by Darwin in his book "the Origin of Species" in 1859, Darwin argued that evolution was the process through which organisms changed overtime to allow them better adapt to their environment. This theory has always received unwelcome signals especially in religious establishments. For this reason the Evolution theory has remained a hot topic which revokes countless arguments both for and against it. This posting therefore invites those with the best evidence for and against it avail it to the rest of us;
cc Kiranga,
Samahani mkuu hivi mechanism ya upimaji wa carbon 14 katika miili ya viumbe au vitu unaijua?..je criticism za matumizi ya carbon 14 unayajua?to help you, carbon 14, is more or less like a system to predict weather or an election, its a "probability" and "historical data" analysis, which gives a "rough idea" with margin of error. so if a living thing died 500 years, there will be possibility be within 505 to 495, that in scientific research is good enough to pin down when something happened.
and there are other ways to do these measurements.
