What part of "...it is a perplexing question and the answer is still being sought." didn't you understand?

The manner in which you have asked the question and then ignored all answers is quite typical of creationism.
So its a perplexing question without an answer yet i ignored all of the answers? If there still isnt an awnser then how did i ignore the ones given since you admit the ones given were insuffient. I did not simply ignore them, i responded to each one. Most replys never even awnser the qeustion. Most of them simply state an advantage of sexual reproduction.

Its fine for science to have questions that still need answers, and i wouldnt say that just because science couldnt awnser a question yet means that God did it. However i never brought creationism into the debate, im simply stateing its a troubleing problem and im not going to accept evolution tell it fills in some of its gaps. However im not saying that because i dont beleive in evolution i beleive in God. You are right that science hasnt found all the awnsers and evolution is still incomplete so its a fine working hypothesis but it has not been confirmed yet.

The real question is what testable statement does evolution make? Tell me something that if it occured or if you could test it and have it come up negitive you would reject evolution? If it does not have a testable statement it is impossible to disprove. IM not saying there isnt some evidence for evolution but there was also evidence for the mechanical ether and for spontaneous generation, both of these had testable claims that came up negitive, hence the theories were rejected, what claim does evolution make that is potentionally testable? Other than waiting 1,000,000 years to see if it has occured more at a macro level. If this is the testable claim then a scientist should not accept it as fact until the statement is positively confirmed. This question is not rather or not natural selection occurs as this has been shown to be true but rather or not one species can slowly change into another. I understand that evolution is claimed to be the result of natural selection but how do we know?

The question is should we accept evolution as fact or a working hypothesis. I think it is not yet fact.
