: I like some of your wording changes, but other of your changes are more problematic. For example, you say "''However, natural selection as the sole driving force of evolution is an outdated concept ...''", as though the previous paragraph said that natural selection ''was'' the sole factor. But it didn't. It said "''if "evolution" means the proposition that all life descended ... '''by variation and''' natural selection alone''" (my emphasis). So your "rebuttal" of the previous paragraph is not a rebuttal at all. And it merely points out that ''particular models'' of evolution make some testable predictions, ignoring that the whole point is that evolution is so flexible that ''evolution itself'' is not thereby challenged, just the particular models.
: Also, you "counter" the quote from Whitten with a later quote, but the later quote really ''confirms'' the earlier quote, that no experiment can challenge the theory of evolution, i.e., it's not testable.
