What would falsify the theory of evolution?

YoursTrue

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
Evolution does not say that it "just happened" either. That is a creationist strawman of evolution. Natural processes do not "just happen". But that does not mean that a God was involved.
Yes, in total, evolution does say that it "just happened." Using "scientific terms." More or less by magic kind of. Called natural selection, etc. Now do you prefer salami or bologna?
Oh, anyway, salami or bologna doesn't just come about by "natural selection." Except maybe by those who decide what ingredients go in it.
But gravity has its laws, and laws have a lawgiver. But that might seem like a silly little "creationist" argument to you. :)

No, evolution says that it happened naturally using evidence based hypotheses. That is far from "just happened". Now some people want to hide their heads in the sand and not look at the evidence. Even though ostriches never did this since it was claimed that they did so at one time it is called the "Ostrich defense". But in reality only people could come up with something so silly.

It is always legitimate to ask for the evidence of something. But once given the evidence you would have the burden of proof to refute it. That can be nigh impossible for a non-scholar. At any rate trying to claim that others are saying that it "just happened" is false.

Yes, it just happened by magic type stuff. Maybe maybe it began in a body of water, maybe some elements "got together" (by magic and bound together maybe from outer space causing eventual plants and animals to come out of them). Every building has a builder.

belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe.
OK, so again -- how are gods deists? Are you making these things up? Now it's my turn to ask for evidence or do you just say things like that?

No. No magic needed. Is gravity "magic"? Is a snowflake? Or a burning fire? Evolution can be understood in the same way that those concepts are understood. No magic needed. In fact it can be shown that evolution is inevitable.

Yes, every building had a builder, but life is not "built".
