"Discounting the evidence" is a false dichotomy.
Support for a theory increases or decreases with new evidence.
Unobserved, unrepeatable events can neither be proven nor disproven.
It is unfair to hold scientific theories to a "prove it" standard (this can only be done in math).
But, scientific theories can and should make
falsifiable predictions.
What are some of the falsifiable predictions of evolutionary theory?
