Paralogs are assumed and 'tracing' their 'common descent' is also assumed.

Evolution doesn't predict anything, yet explains everything.

It is unfalsifiable.

No, paralogs are deduced from their sequence. And their common descent can be traced by tracing the seqeunce of mutations from species to species, back to where they diverged.

Evolution doesn't predict anything, yet explains everything.

For example, evolution predicts the genetic structure of organisms we haven't even discovered yet.

It is unfalsifiable.

All you need is a rabbit in the Cambrian. Don't mistake 'unfalsifiable' for 'never falsified'. My wedding vows are breakable, but they have never been broken.
