The same applies to evolution as well. Is it falsifiable? I am not sure how it is. What observation or experiment could be done to disporve evolution?

1. An examination of DNA might reveal that gibbons share more in common with fir trees than fruit bats. That would be quite a problem... OR:
2. Fossils of dinosaurs in Quaternary sediments, with no other explanation for their arrival.
3. Perfectly preserved human remains dated to 1.2 billion years ago.

Any of those, or a hundred million variations on them, would pose a serious hurdle for evolution.

Yes. Still rather extremist.

Anything descrepancies that might ralistically be observed would cause a modification of theory rather than dumping it.
