No, my argument in those posts was based upon the condition for the absolute falsification of Evolution as given to me by Physicist. My argument dealt that condition a fatal blow.

No it didn't, you did not offer an example that met his condition. The idea that human genetic engineering NOW somehow refutes natural selection as a process in the PAST, is silly. If you think it is responsive that is your fault, not his.

Physicist specifically said "natural speciation" other than natural selection, a distinction you ignored.

FWIW, if physicist intended to say that showing an alternative natural cause for speciation was sufficient to falsify natural selection, then I don't think I agree with that. But you did not meet his conditions in any case.

If you are correct, then Physicist offered a non-falsifiable condition (because ID theory predicts non-natural speciation, not natural speciation) for Evolutionary Theory.

Non-falsifiable theories are unscientific and relegated to discussions of fantasies.

Either give me a falsifiable condition for Evolutionary Theory or declare said theory fantasy.
