um i dont mean to be rude or anything but i dont know if you noticed, i was not the author of those words, those were the words of eminent evolutionists, not mine, i merely reproduced them to show that Darwinian evolution, correctly identified by bosse, was not nor can be subject to the scientific model, that's all, if you can refute this then be my guest!
Wrong again. These are Popper's exact words:
However, Darwin's own most important contribution to the theory of evolution, his theory of natural selection, is
difficult to test. There are some tests, even some experimental tests; and in some cases, such as the famous phenomenom known as "industrial melanism", we can observe natural selection happening under our very eyes, as it were. Nevertheless, really severe tests of the theory of natural selection are hard to come by, much more so than tests of otherwise comparable theories in physics or chemistry.
You've -- disingenuously -- distorted Popper's views to prove your own point (and, perhaps, twhitehead's).
