Re: special pleading and Vishnu
Darwinian evolution is about HOW nature may have produced itself without any involvement or assistance from the God of Genesis/supernatural special creation acts birthing nature.
​
WRONG! In fact, evolution says noting about god. The entire concept of god is COMPLETELY irrelevant to evolution. The theory of evolution is our best current explanation of the mechanism that explains how living things change over time. Nothing more, nothing less.
​
Evolution says nothing about a creator(s) or deity(s).
​
To get back to the OP. I believe evolution predicted a similarity between humans and chimps due to morphology before the advent of DNA research (please correct me if I'm wrong). The fact that the DNA evidence supports this is a slam dunk for evolution. In fact it makes it almost ridiculous to argue against the conclusion that chimps and humans had a common ancestor.

Re: evidence and falsifications
His prediction failed. There is no such thing as a transitional hominid fossil in existence. Either the fossil is wholly human or wholly ape. The only disagreement comes from a small corps of fanatics that each item retains - like the finder and his or her mother.
​
1. All fossils are transitional
​
2. Humans ARE apes
​
You know, even you are technically a transitional creature!
​
Cheers
