How long do you think it's going to be before the theory of evolution is disproven as the origin of homo sapiens?

It cannot be disproved because it makes no predictions. It is unfalsifiable.

Evolution can be disproved, all you have to do is show that species don't develop new traits that inevitably lead to speciation. It's far from unfalsifiable and therefore a good hypothesis as far as Karl Popper is concerned.

>>6091845
>all you have to do is show that species don't develop new traits

1. You cannot show this. You cannot design an experiment to produce this observation.
2. It wouldn't disprove evolution. If they don't develop new traits, that means they reached the evolutionary optimum.

Do you even know the scientific method? Do you even know the definition of falsifiability? If a theory makes no predictions which could be hypothetically falsified by experiment or observation, then it is not falsifiable.

>all you have to do is find a biochemical mechanism that precludes the possiblity.
That mechanism surely evolved, thus proving evolution right once again. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Are you retarded? "Falsifiable" means there exists a _hypothetically possible_ falsification. In the case of evolution there is none. Please keep your creationism to yourself.

Are you trolling or retarded? I honestly can't tell. A precambrian rabbit fossil would NOT disprove evolution. It would only force us to make minor changes to the phylogenetic tree.
