Arguendo, we're positing that I proved that a nuclear submarine cannot be powered by peat blocks.
A nuclear submarine is powered by a nuclear reactor. It has never been observed to be be powered by peat blocks. We know peat is not very concentrated or energy-dense, and we can know the volume and weight of the peat you would have to store onboard in order to operate the submarine. Once you realize the engineering doesn't work, you have disproved the Peat Propulsion Theory.
It is falsifiable. Let us observe a nuclear submarine being powered by peat, and you have falsified my theory.
A relevant bit: no one has ever seen a usable protein formed by random mutation.
If it hasn't been observed --- and the math just doesn't work ---

if you place a pony embryo into a horse uterus, the foal becomes significantly larger than a pony when grownAnd when you reproduce two such over-sized ponies do you get an oversized pony or just a pony?

A midget mating with Uma Thurman could create *another* human being that is 7 feet tall given they both have the same DNA genotype (Same species) such as a pony and horse (Equus caballus). What is your point?
A pony giving birth to Tacko Fall would be impressive. Wake me up when that happens.

Autos and Trucks, all evolved from the simple wheel, which wasn't so simple at the start. Where did the wheel come from?
Our most complex and complicated and most capable of computers, got evolved from the simple observation and creation of a spark of electricity. How did the first spark get started?
Humans got started as simple organisms which SUDDENLY sprung in a soup of elements and molecules and compounds, aided by some magical energy source, perhaps electricity. Ain't 'science' great?
Global warming got its start in the 1980s, magically and without warning. It's evolution, I tell you. The 'evolution' that can only come from the human imagination. The universe 'evolved' and came from the 'big bang', which was the beginning of everything. The 'big bang' just happened.

Who’s got no biology training? There’s no way any FR folk believe in evolution. I’m not buying that. That’s akin to saying there’s freepers who support Clinton or Bernie or the left in general. It’s just not in the cards, the folks here are too smart.

Punctuated equilibrium...which is also BS
To: bray
It is hard to continue to support a theory which has no evidence and lots against it.We're seeing it happen right before our eyes in Africa.
See: Under poaching pressure, elephants are evolving to lose their tusks
In this case, evolution is nothing but accidental animal husbandry on the part of the poachers. This sort of environmental influence is no different than any natural one.
Removing the tusked elephants from the breeding population allows the tuskless genetic trait to become more dominant.

IIRC even Darwin himself first said that evolution cannot explain one species changing into another.
Evolution does occur on a local level - aka adaptation. Breeding is a form of forced evolution as well. Can’t explain how a reptile turned into a bird or a mammal, or how a monkey became a man, though. That God created the basic animals and us and turned us all loose to breed and adapt makes a whole lot more sense.

Evolution theory does not claim to address the origin of life.
