Evolution and direct observation

Canadian Cynic shows us what happens when the required "direct observation" that creationists say is necessary for something to be scientifically valid is carried to an extreme. What would you think if you called your local police to report a burglary and heard the following:
"Now, calm down," says the sergeant, "it's like this. Used to be, when we got a call like this, we'd be right out, do stuff like take pictures, dust for fingerprints and all that; scientifically, you know. But -- and here's the funny thing -- turns out that's not science at all. Turns out that, unless you have an eyewitness -- you know, someone who actually saw all this happen -- it's not really science. So, sorry to say, we can't help you out there. I mean, we could come out and poke around but, it not being science and all, it wouldn't really do a whole lot of good."
