: Falsifiability is necessary but not sufficient for a particular proposition to be scientific. The point of this article is that the controversial aspects of evolution are not falsifiable. The fact that aspects of creationism are also not falsifiable (which is not in dispute) does not change the fact that ''evolution'' is not falsifiable, and is therefore not scientific.

== Edit summary ==
Rewrote definition of falsifiability as the corrent definition is incorrect; falsifiability is NOT a complete test of the scientific validity of a concept in and of itself, and not strictly necessary for a proposition to be considered scientific except in the philosophy of science of certain non-bayensians.
Updated definitions of evolution to reflect current trends in biological research.
Elaborated on possible tests of evolution
Provided context for quotes from evolutionists.
