@layman,
Quote:Your example is based merely on things that theoretically "could" happen, but which have not, and which have no way of being "tested."
It seems obvious that, using that standard, just about any claim, however absurd, could be called "falsifiable."
What I was indirectly suggesting, Farmer, is that you might want to refine your notion of what Popper meant by "falsifiability" as a criterion for eliminating "pseudo-science" from the realm of actual science. And that's all it is. It is not a definition of science, per se.
I realize that this suggestion subjects me to the ever-present risk of you concluding that I am a fundamentalist Christian with a creationist agenda. But, honest, it aint about that.
