You want strict, concrete lab results that mathematically and physically prove the theory of evolution. But as you said yourself, the real world doesn't behave as it does in a lab. Forget about science and arguments for a second and look at nature itself. Forget about trying to understand it for a second and just "feel" it. You'll see how it works. It does what it does regardless of our conclusions and assumptions. The truth about the world is not bound by our theories, measurements and definitions. You don't always have to fill ALL the holes with lab results to get closer to the truth. You don't have to drive over every curve in the road to see where it's headed. If you can't put all the little pieces together to get the answers, step back and see the big picture.
OK. I've been up way too late and am starting to sound like a coked up oracle. Time for bed. Later.

You sound like you're telling me to ignore science and go with "common sense". There are TONS of stuff in science that go directly against common sense. Anti-intellectuals tell people to ignore science and listen to common sense. Creationists say that. Common sense doesn't begin explain quantum physics or almost anything in life beyond simple machines and situations.
