But, for something to actually be scientifically proven, doesn't it have to be observed? That it cannot be observed in a lab is the entire point. Also, they are not making the claim that evolution happens radically, as you state they are.

Can we reproduce a supernova in a lab?

Is this or is this not a true statement? They have not said anything about the time factor--simply that this is what the whole idea of evolution boils down to.

No, what they claimed is complete BS, basically they're trying to say it went from Reptile -> Mammals.
That's not how it happened and thats why they're wrong.

Also, I want to point out that just because you give something billions of years to happen does not mean that it will. Certain things are never going to happen mathematically.

You're right there, but when you have mathematics to show something is possible, then the long time scale helps even more.
