>> Unfortunately, macro evolution is impossible to prove since you can’t replicate it in a lab and you won’t be around long enough to observe it in nature. <<

Sorry, but there are legitimate scientific endeavors that cannot be brought into a laboratory and tested. There are other methods to do science than laboratory falsification. Evolution and ID fall outside of direct falsification, as well as geology, paleontology, cosmology, archeology, and anything else that is too big, too far away, or happened too long ago to bring into a lab.

Unfortunately, both ID and Evolution proponents blindly accept Popperian falsification as the only legitimate scientific process out of ignorance. This only serves to muddy the discourse on the subject.

That’s only half true- only Evolution proponents mistakenly think that Karl Popper gave the only acceptable criterion for science. He’s been proven wrong many many times, yet evolution proponents ignorant of what science is still put hte wholly unscientific onus of falsification upon others while they themselves, or rather hteir hypothesis, are imune from such restraints. Hypocritical? Oh yes!
