You Falsifiable don't mean that "has been falsified", means that "can be falsified", that is what popper mean for Science.
Newton's Gravitational Law has not been falsified with general relativity, General relativity has put some stricter conditions of applicability (that doesn't mean falsify) to Newton's DYNAMICS, giving to the attraction between object not character of a direct interaction but character of a geomerty. The Gravitational force is, until now, the Newton one, instead there are some try of differents parametrizations.

How can you falsify something based on stocastic and chaotic mutations?
There is some sort of experiment that can you tell "no, this can't be casual"?
No, there aren't, and because theory of evolution can't make any quantitative
predictions, can't be falsifiable.
When you study General relativity you calculate that time slow down in a system accelerating, and you can verify relativly easly: you make a satellite with an atomic watch and see if and how times slow with the earth gravitational attraction (and so acceleration), and if this measure is accurate within the prediction of Einstein, General Relativity is, in this applicability frame, right, otherwise is wrong.
General Realitivity is, in this field, is verified because the GPS works.

I don't deny It.
But evolution isn't a FACT, is only a theory that in some famous epistemological system isn't even considered scientific.
As every theory you have to believe it, or refuse it.
You
believe in LQG or String Theory (or you think that conceiling General Relativity and Quantum Theory is an impossible task)?
I cannot blame you by choosing one of the three option, even if the third is not a scientific choice but perfectly understandable.

You insult me pretending that I'm lying only because I met a person different from your expectations.

How funny. -_-'
I tell you that instead of professor A you can put my name (but I'm no professor, only PhD student), but that doesn't mean that I have not to respect people that have religious beliefs over their scientific knowledge pretending that they cannot be smart or even exist... -_-
