Line 50:
Line 50: − : However, we already know that mutations accumulate, and this proposed falsification fails to distinguish between evolution and competing views such as creation, so is a rather weak falsification at best.
Falsifiability of evolution (view source)
Revision as of 15:01, June 12, 2008
, 15:01, June 12, 2008→Proposed Tests and Observations: Neither the fact that an observation would also falsify a competing theory nor the fact that this observation has not been made eliminate falsifiability.
Other proposed falsifications include:<ref>[http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA211.html TalkOrigins Claim CA211]</ref>
