That happens all the time from gene splicing in labs to cultivating roses in gardens. Has evolution been falsified?

No, because people are part of the system of evolution ... just as are predators, prey, parents, children, etc. Evolution does not occur in a vaccuum ...

So if you don't know how all life evolved from a common ancestor why would you think it did?

Did I say I think it did? My main argument here is that there is currently no better scientific theory ... I'd LOVE to see a more accurate theory come around, but that would involve the argument actually taking place in the relams of science, and not in rhetorical questions.

That's an interesting illustration. For instance, your claim has strong odds of not being true. I suspect there are times when you do the laundry that socks don't go missing.

Whew! I'm glad I didn't state that it happens every time I do laundry, then!

If one can be skeptical of claims of missing socks, one should certainly be skeptical of broad claims of science.

Great, but if the fact is that socks go missing, do we cover our ears and ignore it, or claim the one producing the evidence is a liberal or a liar when they show evidence of there now being fewer socks?

Anyway, the supernatural can be avoided when discussing socks.

Yes. I usually avoid it.

That's not really the case in questions as to how life came about and what we should do with our own.

And why is that?

Because God is supernatural. The most important answers are to the questions of wheather God exists (He does) and what does He want us to do (Jesus explains that).
