This evolved to keep the kiwi safe from aerial predators that hunted using sight and sound, such as the now extinct goshawk.

Sneaky little kiwi evolved so good that the poor old goshawk starved himself to death!

The key is: was the outcome DIRECTED by nature or is it just an observation after the fact. If nature directed this - Orthodox Darwinism is false.

See, you can define a scenario were Evolution is falsified without evoking a god or designer.
