On the other hand, a falsification would say: "species B could not have descended from species A because the oldest geological age of a species A fossil is X and the oldest geological age of a species B fossil is X-Y."

Thanks. However, not sure that evolutionists would consider that a falsification. They would just say 'the dog ate the bones'.

Thank you so much for your post at 5402!

However, not sure that evolutionists would consider that a falsification.

To the contrary, I believe if paleontologists discovered fossils of modern man in geological layers dating back to billions of years ago, and could find no other explanation for it --- they would declare the common descent pillar of theory of evolution false.

I don't think they would throw the baby out with the bathwater, though. IMHO, they would continue research in genetic inheritance and mutations, etc. And I would consider that a good thing since it offers so much hope in medicine.
