I'm not a pysicist, but I was under the impression that the equivalence principle basically did just that.
That said, if your point is that unfalsifiable mechanisms have a place in scientific theories, then I would disagree with you.
Look, I know that you're a staunch supporter of evolutionary theory, but doesn't it strike your sensibilities as a little odd that you (nor anyone else I posit this question to, for that matter) can not answer a question, that you no doubt would require of a competing theory?
