Evolution would be falsifiable without proving "that it could never have happened under any circumstances".

Its only subject to experimental support or refutation in a very limited way, but science can be about observations, not just experiments (for example astronomy is mostly an observational science).

Proving something couldn't have ever happened under any circumstances is a pretty high standard.

I said "evidence," not "proof."

Friendly hint: Don't look to catch this ole gal talking in absolutes because she doesn't "do" absolutes. All through this discussion you've been inferring absolutes when I didn't assert absolutes. Waste of your time and mine.
