"There's the observed fact of evolution, that the frequency of alleles in a population drifts with time. Obviously, that could be falsified by finding a population whose allele frequency was constant across many generations, despite environmental pressures. It's about as likely to happen as dropping an apple and watching it float into space."

Fallacy of begging the question.

Hardly. His question was not specific enough, and I was helping him clarify it.

The parallel question: "What is falsifiable about gravity?" demonstrates the problem.
