That is a serious problem, not that evolution has not been falsified, but that evolutionists will not allow it to be falsified. When evolution IS falsified, which has happened many times, evolutionists scramble to invent a new process with a fancy-sounding name, that deceptively explains-away the falsification, (like "convergent" evolution, or evolutionary "co-option,") about which they trumpet, "See? Evolution was NOT falsified!" Nothing changed, except the rhetoric.
Over the years, that deception has been performed so many times that no matter what happens, it is touted as evidence of evolution. That is not science.
What evolutionists will not tell you is that most all observances claimed to be evidence of evolution are also evidence of special creation. Special creation predicts variations within the species, and that those species will always remain within the family they were created in -- canines will always be canines, people will always be people, bacteria will always be bacteria, and etc.. That is observable and testable science.
The part that makes evolution unique is common descent (aka, macroevolution,) which has never been observed, neither in the fossil record, in nature, nor in a laboratory. As long as common descent remains unobservable, the scientific evidence fits special creation better, or, put another way, special creation IS science.

The truth is, without common descent, there is no evolution, Not one truthful thing in that list is evidence of common descent. The things that are false, such as the overhyped claim of transitional fossil series, might be evidence of common descent, if they were true.

LOL! Not surprisingly, Joey picked an amateurish website to try to discredit creationism/ID. He would never attempt this shenanigan using one of the major creation sites, such as ICR.org, Creation.com, or AnswersInGenesis.org, which are staffed with well-educated PhD's and MD'S.
Try this page for questions that evolutionists should be asked:
My favorite question to ask is, can you show us evidence for common descent -- any evidence. It never fails that evolutionists, like Joey, trot out a bucket of fish heads to stink up the place; but they never present any solid evidence for common descent, because there is none. Common descent can be found only in museum mock-ups, imaginary artistic drawings, in "science" lectures, and in text books. It has never been observed in the real world.

See what I mean? No one believes that. The author is an amateur, but somehow Joey found him in the midst of all the PhD's and MD's that believe in special creation and intelligent design! That is truly remarkable journalistic prowess!
Joey reminds me of the typical MSM journalist who visits a conservative political rally, and somehow is able to find the only space alien in the crowd, which is then presented as the typical conservative. The Left is famous for that tactic. The truth is meaningless to them, except on the rare occasion when the truth actually serves as a means to the end in promoting their warped ideology.
That said, retired Cornell professor John Sanford, author of "Genetic Entropy", claims Charles Darwin didn't understand Natural Selection:
I recommend watching the entire lecture.

Again, Joey presents this amateur as typical of creation/ID researchers. One of the world's leading ornithologists, evolutionist Alan Feduccia, UNC, said the Archaeopteryx is a bird. That is good enough for me:
"Paleontologists have tried to turn Archaeopteryx into an earth-bound, feathered dinosaur. But it's not. It is a bird, a perching bird. And no amount of 'paleobabble' is going to change that." [Alan Feduccia, in Virginia Morell, "Archaeopteryx: Early Bird Catches a Can of Worms." Science, Vol.259, Iss.5096; Feb 5, 1993, p.764]
Years ago, there was a fraudulent bird, hyped-up in National Geographic, that had a similar name -- the Archaeoraptor:

Again, Joey presents this amateur as typical of creation/ID researchers. Evolution is a lie. Anti-evolutionists need only tell the truth to expose them.

>>Joey wrote: "In fact, none of these "prove" anything about Darwin's basic evolution theory -- 1) descent with modifications and 2) natural selection, long term, produce new species."
Joey fails to mention that there is no way to prove a historical science, and that common descent has never been observed in any way, shape or form.

Joey is playing rhetoric games, again. Genetic research has shown that species cannot cross over the genetic boundary into another family. That includes humans. Yes, humans have never evolved. We are today the same as in the day man was created, except for the accumulation of a gazillion deleterious mutations along the way.
Some college students and evolutionary professors were asked for evidence of common descent. The professors are Peter Nonacs, Craig Stanford, PZ Myers, and Gail E. Kennedy. Their answers are exactly what you would expect from those who accept evolution as their faith-based religion:

>>Joey wrote: "Well, a lot of evolution happens before a population reaches the alleged "family barrier". Kalamata's response: "that's not evolution". But it is.
That is true, but loaded with deceptive rhetoric. There is absolutely no evidence of any new genetic material ever evolved. Without new genetic information, there is no evolution, by definition. There is plenty of devolution, or loss of genetic information, but no evolution. Joey's pretense that devolution is evolution is pure sophistry.
Existing genomes are "reshuffled" and mutated over the generations to bring out various created and inherited characteristics. But none allow a species of one family to cross over into another family. The only conclusion is that organisms are intelligently-designed and/or specially-created.

That is not all evolutionists have accomplished. Besides wasting taxpayer money, they have created a few additional frauds.

And there is a great deal of truth to that statement. However, one must question how such scientists can continue to support evolution being taught as fact, knowing that much of what we believe to be true today will have to be self-corrected in the future." Long-term evolution should never be taught as "fact" since it's a theory, a confirmed explanation, based on literal mountains of facts. Short-term evolution, aka "adaptation" or "micro-evolution" is observed fact, Kalamata's "heroic" efforts to define it away notwithstanding."
Joey is loaded with deceptive rhetoric. Creationists are okay with the term micro-evolution, as long as it is understood that there is no evolution involved -- no increase in genetic information. The only processes at work are gene reshuffling and devolution, which is a loss of genetic information.
Mr. Kalamata
. Creationists are okay with the term micro-evolution, as long as it is understood that there is no evolution involved — no increase in genetic information. The only processes at work are gene reshuffling and devolution, which is a loss of genetic information.
