What books on evolution do I need to read so that I am able to formulate predictions based on the theory that have the potential to be tested and falsify the theory?
It's a scientific theory, so it must be able to generate falsifiable predictions, yes? So how do I do it? What are the laws of evolution that will allow me to generate predictions?

You seem like a cute girl so I will answer your question.
The only place the THEORY OF EVOLUTION figures as such is in Darwin's "On the Origin of Species." Otherwise it's not a scientific theory but a phenomenon.
As for the theory itself, it states that characteristics are inherited from the parents, and fitter parents (meaning those which can handle their environment better) can produce more offspring that get to grow up and reproduce themselves. There is also a set quantity of default mutation and different manners in which it's determined what you inherit from which parent... in fact if you get down to the brass tacks, it's kind of a shitshow of a leaking ship... but the phenomenon itself is real and exists. It's the very lax rule that affords for very many exceptions, hence you cannot really falsify it using an exception. That's why the THEORY OF EVOLUTION is in that book and what "evolved" since then is the PHENOMENON OF EVOLUTION.

According to wikipedia
>A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.[1][2] In circumstances not amenable to experimental testing, theories are evaluated through principles of abductive reasoning. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and embody scientific knowledge
There's no way to test and verify it if it doesn't make predictions.

But clearly many people think there is more to evolution than this fact, that in some way evolution can be considered a science or part of science. I'm trying to understand why they think this. Other people in the wikipedia article about objections to evolution give concrete examples of how it could be falsified (contradicting anons ITT who say it can't be falsified).

Why didn't you ask this in the first place? It's easy. Today it's politically dictated that all progress is "good" hence all "evolution" is in the positive direction. This way they get away with anything, like pedo Biden and tranny shows featuring 6 year olds.
In reality evolution can go in any direction it wants: "positive," "negative," whatever. That's why the Greeks came up with the idea of BEAUTY and GOOD and TRUTH, so they don't have to solve this problem over and over again. In reality the positive direction is called "eugenics" (which is a science, just as you wished "theory of evolution" was) and the negative direction is called "dysgenics" (the one currently pushed by the globohomo racemixing agenda).

That's not how it works. You generally wipe out between 85% and 99.5% of bacteria. What remains doesn't have to have mutations to multiply (although it most certainly helps). Otherwise antibiotic resistant super-bacteria would have arisen 10 or 15 years after the discovery of penicilin.

Mutations happen often, but since they are random it's very fucking rare for them to have any sort of benefitial effect let alone the specific benefitial effect needed in that context. So it takes a shit ton of time for that coincidence to happen but when it does it spreads quite fast.

no really a theory. just that things change over the course of an organism's life and in its offspring. biology is incoherent without this, whatever its particulars may be, incrementally creating it. anyone who invokes evolution is likely bullshitting because it will be some darwinistic or evopsych nonsense. on the other hand, the particulars are part of it but don't really invoke it as a whole.

I don't know why we're talking about politics now but evolution is just a way to look at data that we have through observable traits in living things (mammals and reptiles are both animals) and through genomic data (number of mutations and type of mutations in conserved genes like the ones coding for DNA polymerase). Through observable traits and fossils and physical things, there was already a proposed family tree of how organisms evolved, like the tree of life that you see pretty often. Now that we are able to sequence entire genomes and track sequential changes that are still present, the tree that is formed through data is nearly a perfect match to their physical traits. In bacteria, mutations happen fast enough that I leave a plate of antibiotic agar on a bench, within a week or two, some sort of microbe will already have developed a basic tolerance to the antibiotic through random mutations. The whole system of evolution is actually very cool

Lemme try to layout a path for this.
In order for this to work the masses need to organize themselves, come up with the lifestyle, their socioeconomics completely revolutionized, set this program across the world. It’s adopted because it’s a better alternative. Soldiers defect, nationalists are appeased. The program as I see it consists of direct democracy, in neighborhoods and workplaces, coupled with a non accumulative currency (that can be easily done without among friends. It’s a training wheel currency for a gift economy where no one charges for anything. Needs are just met) a generation of this would be enough to 1, absorb the stragglers, 2, raise children under a drastically different culture.
Can you now image what this world world look like?
What’s a monopoly look like? A small town needs only one cobbler? Alright. He wouldn’t hold a grudge with someone for picking up a pair of shoes in the next town, would he? What could he possibly do if he about it? Go to the town meetings and speak before the 4000 assembled and ask they ban outsider shoes? Why would he?
