Quote by: Captain Chaos  Is macro evolution falsifiable? It is quite well supported by the evidence, of course. But I am not sure it is actually falsifiable, because it is not really something that can be prospectively tested.
Also, absolutely anything can be explained by evolution. Thus, if we found something weird in biology, we would not be able to show that it occured by non-evolutionary terms. Thus, it would seem to me to be non-falsifyable. |
All modern science MUST be falsifiable, if it's not then we risk going into the realm of religious dogma. This doesn't mean that all science is baloney, just that it is always open to change and can be challenged. This keeps science moving forwards.
