The same applies to evolution as well. Is it falsifiable?

Of course. E.g. by discovering in one place fossils of organisms that should not have been there according to evolution's predictions.

"fossils of organisms that should not have been there according to evolution's predictions."

We all know that this is all up to the individual interpreting what the fossils mean, and what the 'predictions' are. In other words, those who hinge their philosophy of life on their belief in evolution will find ways to 'interpret' the fossils in an appropriate light. Those who hinge their philosophy of life on ID will do the same.

In the end, it all boils down to what we each chose to believe.

In theory. But what can happen is by finding them there we realize our assumption that they shouldn't have been there was wrong.

Or our understanding of geology was incomplete and there is an answer for their seemingly being in the wrong place.
