Evolutionary proponents assert, however, that evolution is falsifiable.  Most famously the English biologist [[JBS Haldane]] argued that "fossil rabbits in the precambrian"<ref>Ridley, M (2003). Evolution, Third Edition. Blackwell Publishing Limited.</ref> would falsify evolution while arguing that the [[theory of evolution]] is a scientific theory even under Popper's falsifiability criteria.

In 1980, Popper responded, to news that his conclusions were being used by creation-scientists by affirming that theories regarding the origins of life on earth were [[science|scientific]] because "their hypotheses can in many cases be tested,"<ref>{{hnb|Popper|1980|p=611}} as cited in {{hnb|Numbers|1992|p247}}</ref> but he stopped short of granting full scientific standing to evolution.<ref>{{hnb|Numbers|1992|p247}}</ref>

With Popper's equivocal stance on evolution not resolving the matter to conclusion, Douglas Theobald argues at TalkOrigins, a pro-evolution website, 30 major biological predictions of evolution, with "potential" falsifications.<ref> Theobald, Douglas (2004) [http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/default.html| 29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: Scientific "Proof", scientific evidence, and the scientific method.] The TalkOrigins Archive.
