Evolution is not Falsifiable!

Common INCORRECT criticism of evolution:
"Evolution is not predictive and is therefore not testable and is therefore not falsifiable and is therefore not science."

I strongly recommend that before anyone repeats the ridiculous rumor that evolution fails the falsifiability requirement that they actually read Karl Popper's book "Objective Knowledge." I've read a number of summaries of Popper's view - by people who agree with him and people who do not - and I've not yet come across anyone who explains his idea better than he did. (My own explanations are no exception.)

Dear Creationist,
Please don't repeat silly crap you don't understand.

WarmWeatherGuy references Shanedk's video series which makes a similar point - and other points.

if evolution is science, and science makes predictions, then how does one go about predicting what is happening to your hairline and chin, assuming they are also undergoing evolution, which by the looks of your videos from a couple of years back is certain.

@Labetolol45 Your comic book understanding of science bears no relation to the genuine article.

[Labetolol45]

@TheFallibleFiend could the evolution of your chin be scientifically studied? Could this science make predictions? Would it be falsifiable? That is what I was asking.

@Labetolol45 Your poor understanding of science is waste of time - yours and everyone who reads your words

Right on man, you speak the truth!

@Labetolol45 go listen to your faggy music

Falsification is the 'acid test' for theoretical science. What is necessary for an idea to demonstrate how facts connect to deliver working data. The 'crockoduck' is a glaring example that a creationist is clever enough to use photoshop; but either lazy or ill-inform to consult a taxonomy chart. Evolutionary Theory made 'history' a force in biology.Living things are part of a process, not objects. That's Darwin's contribution.

@MaximusArurealius Reasoning is a mystery to a poorly educated buffoon like you, Max.

@juggep80 Oh GREAT reasoning asshole. But typical of a fucking atheist.
