especially when the "disprovability" argument against creation science as a scientific study can just as easily be made regarding evolution.
Find a transposon present in whales and cows but not hippos and the theory of evolution suddenly starts looking quite untenable.
The theory of evolution predicts that you will never find Precambrian rabbit fossils.
Either position (evolution or creation) requires acceptance of assumptions or ideas that can neither be proven nor disproven by scientific experimentation to interpret the data or evidence available.
There are hypothetical observations that would falsify evolution, though you are correct in that nothing can prove it simply because absolutely no explanation in science can be proven.

The theory of evolution predicts that you will never find Precambrian rabbit fossils. So does that mean that if you found Precambrian rabbit fossils then evolution would be disproven?

Wouldn't the theory also predict that there would be a plethora of transitional species in the fossil record if indeed one species evolved into another? Hypothetically, wouldn't the absence of such transitional forms in the fossil record be problematic?
