>>Yes — but how does one “falsify” macroevolution theory? Or panspermia theory? It seems to me they are both unfalsifiable; so I don’t understand how they get ranked as “scientific” theories to begin with<<
Easy. Find a modern human skeleton in the same strata as a dinosaur. Or even a modern horse.
I am not quite sure how panspermia applies — it is not a Scientific Theory.
That wouldn't work either.
If it wasn't dismissed as an outright fraud, the scientific community would declare *Human Evolution pushed back millions of years. Evidence now suggests that humans evolved earlier than previously thought* Or *Humans (or horses) now classified as a living fossil*.
Of one thing I have no doubt. They'd explain it away SOMEHOW rather than admit that the ToE was falsified, because they have nothing else to fall back on, and special creation is not an option.
But what if there were nothing to find, for the simple reason that such evidence isn't there, because such a thing — the contemporeity of humans and dinosaurs — never was? Then we'd just be "waiting for Godot"....
But assuming the fossil record were to show that dinosaurs and humans existed at the same time, how does that help corroborate Darwin's theory of speciation?
