Question 5: Testability

[Simon]

What evidence would convince you that evolution is false? If no such evidence exists, or indeed could exist, how can evolution be a testable scientific theory?

If we can't explain something, let's say so.

Thanks, Jose. I hadn't heard those arguments before. Does this mean that all blue eyed people are contaminated? (Just kidding, I think I know the answer. )

You probably hadn't heard them because I just made 'em up. I'm pretty sure that others have too, so I claim no credit.

Of course, the data seem to indicate that white skin is another form of contamination, since it was selected for only in those tribes that left Africa and migrated north. It was selected for, again, as people migrated toward the equator in Central America--but came up more as a really good tanning response, rather than continuous expression of melanin. The US veneration of "a good tan" indicates how jealous we are of people who have more melanin than we do.

There are probably lots of other "contaminations" we could discuss.
