Please tell me how evolution is verifiable? You can’t test it.... since you can’t test it you can’t repeat the test and get the same result (verify it) and since you can’t test it you can’t falsify it. It lies outside the limits of the scientific method.

It is therefore philosophy that is based on the non-existence of a creator and the need for a process to explain the existence of and the diversity of life.

I would argue that the laws of nature argue powerfully for a creator.

You can't test an orogeny (mountain building event) either, yet through the powers of observation and rational deduction about our tiny little time snapshot of the end result of an extremely slow process, the mechanisms of plate tectonics, pluton emplacement, ore body formation etc are well understood and accepted concepts.

...

It’s a useful scientific theory that provides a superior model for explaining and categorizing observations of life.
