Answer 1
It is observable and testable.
Evolution even occurs in the electronics we use every day. What did cell phones look like in 1980? What do they look like now? They have evolved.
Answer 2
1. In science, to say that hypothesis is testable means to say that the hypothesized principle should logically result in certain things being observed here and now. For instance, if a meteorite impacted the Earth 65 million years ago, then we should logically expect to find a thin layer with an increased concentration of Iridium at a depth corresponding with that age. To find such a layer means a confirmation for the hypothesis, increasing the likelihood that it is accurate ('true'). The absence of such a layer would mean a significant decrease of the likelihood that it is accurate (ie. it would have been falsified).
2. The word 'evolution', in the context of the life sciences, refers to two things:
To sum it up: yes, evolution is both observable and testable.
It does not mater what anyone thinks about the theory of evolution by natural selection. The theory of evolution by natural selection is the best explanation we have for much of the observed and observable fact of evolution. The theory is internally consistent with the fact of evolution, it is supported by myriad lines of converging evidence and it generates testable predictions in the form of scientific hypothesis. The opinion of no one is needed by the theory of evolution by natural selection and educated people have come to accept the theory.
Not at all alike. Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory that explains much about evolution is well supported by the evidence and has been repeatedly tested. It also has made many testable predictions. Flood myth? Whose flood myth? These myths are legion and many cultures have one. Not one of the myths has ever been supported by the evidence though.
Because there is no other testable explanation available for it.
The theory of evolution by natural selection.No, as however life came about the fact that it evolves is observed and observable and natural selection would still be one of the main drivers of evolution and the only driver of adaptive change.
Because it is an internally consistent explanation of a mechanism of evolution that is supported by many lines of converging evidence, that has been repeatedly tested and is capable of making testable predictions. Pretty much the scientific definition of theory.
Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains many things about evolution. The theory generates testable hypothesis, as any good theory does. Remember, theory is the highest concept in science.

Because evolution is a proven, testable, scientific theory.

Yes it is testable, because both the moon phase and the weather are observable and quantifiable variables. Therefore, their covariability can be determined and this hypothesis tested.

A statement that satisfies ALL SIX criteria on the CONPTT grid....Consistent,Observable, Natural, Predictable, Testable, Tentative
Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is an observed and observable fact. That's why.
It was where he developed his theory. The Galapagos are considered the "Laboratory of Evolution." Evolution is easily observable here.
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. This is observable and observed at the molecular level in this era.
If , then, and because.
