 :Excellent quote. However, the theories of evolution make predictions that can be tested, therefore they are falsifiable. For example: 
 :*If a population of advanced vertabrate fossils were found in Precambrian rock, that would falsify a whole body of evolution. 
 :*If the fossil record shows a pattern supporting the idea of common descent, then finding conclusive evidence in other scientific disciplines to the contrary would falsify common descent. (Fossils and geology were all Darwin had to work with at the time). Later, findings from genetics and molecular biology added strong support to the theory of common descent. 
 :*Darwin's theory of natural selection predicts that species will evolve beneficial adaptations to environmental pressures - and we do observe this, both in the lab and in nature. This theory could easily be falsified by finding a consistent pattern of evolving harmful adaptations to environmental pressures. 
 :Other examples abound. The point is, "Darwinism" is quite falsifiable.
