Agreed, but how would you falsify the theory if every new discovery simply reinforces the theory of evolution? That's not science.
I think it is science, just not to everyone's liking. It just is not a science like say, physics, or chemisrty.
The theory of evolution really states that a rock, under specific, though unknown, circumstances, can come to life. What many people, perhaps you as well, are confused with is natural selection. Natural selection is a real and observable process.
I don't think anyone, who's opinion would be of any consequence, thinks a rock can come to life. And I agree that natural selection is an actual observable process, so much so, that to deny it, immediately destroys your credibility and brings your sanity into question.
Natural selection isn't evolution, though evolution wholly depends on natural selection. Promulgators of the theory of evolution have muddied the waters by discussing micro-evolution (natural selection, not evolution at all) with macro-evolution (the theory of evolution). Creation must have some cause and atheists use the theory of evolution to remove God from creation. It is not a scientific theory, but a religious one - the religion of atheism.
I've already stated that in my opinion, things are missing, and current evolution theory is incomplete. And I think no one knows what those things are, but science may find a mechanism that allows for spontaneous creation of life, or perhaps spontaneous creation of radically new body forms, I don't know.
I'm not an atheist, and I have no particular axe to grind for or against any particular agenda. To me, things simply are what they are, and science works to illuminate how things are. Science is not evil, and there are plenty of religious scientists in every scientific field.

I'm not accusing you of anything. I like science and use it every day. Just noting that the Theory of Evolution is non-science aka nonsense.
