The definition of [[falsifiability]] has been discussed extensively elsewhere, in particular by [[Karl Popper]].  The issue is quite important, as it is generally considered central to the definition of science.  Both mainstream scientists and AiG consider this a critical issue.  This page is '''reserved for examples of falsification statements''' for each theory. I strongly encourage good scenarios that could potentially render a theory false, even if the scenario is not ultimately proved to be true.

A falsification statement should be in the form of ''"The theory is potentially true unless ''x'' is found to be true."'' It is not valid to say ''"The theory is false unless ''x'' is found to be true."''
