Falsification criteria gives you a test (or tests). If the test verifies the hypothesis, then we assume that we can accept the theory as being empirically justified.

However, theories that have no such published falsification criteria are generally considered to *NOT* be empirically justified.

Why must falsification criteria be specifically peer-reviewed? Why isn’t “a rabbit in the precambrian” valid as a falsification criteria? Is ID “empirically justified”?
