By your standards, chemical evolution (abiogenesis) can not be science if in fact your standard for judging science is falsifiability.,

If you'll pardon my intrusion, this is a category error.

A scientific theory, according to Popper's naive falsifiability, should be falsifiable. However, is 'abiogenesis' a scientific theory? I would argue that it is not. It might be a research program. Physics is indubitably science, but it is not falsifiable.

You may argue anything you wish but the fellow I'm having a discussion with called it a theory. Nor were we discussing physics so you lose me there entirely.

But I'm interested in hierarchial Popperism. I take it that hypotheses that are not falsifiable may be science?
