evolution is not scientifically falsifiable since if it is true, literally everything is evolution, including me writing this, technology, any behavior, literally everything would be evidence for evolution. Thats why its been called a tautology. It can not be disproven on its own grounds, since literally every piece of counter-evidence would be proof of evolution. This is fallacious of course.
For example both creationist and evolutionists often use the same evidences to claim their point is right. How is this possible? It is possible because the evidence does not speak for itself, which is something evolutionists often ironically claim, while accusing christians of using the bible as self evident truths.
Fore example
here we can see someone post this cartoon:
View attachment 1301176
Notice they take "facts" as a self-evident maxim that just exists and is without a doubt true. So if the cartoon was written by someone with more than 2 braincells it would actually sound like this:
Left picture: "The scientific method: Here is arbitrary interpretation. What facts can we draw from it?"
Right picture: "the creatoinist metho: Here is the arbitrary interpretation. What facts can we draw from it?"
(This is why protestant way of viewing the bible does not work. You need correct interpretation, which you wont get from everyone interpreting it how they want. Thats why theres 30k protestant denominations)
I can interpret the bible however I want, just as I can fabricate any scientific proof I want by interpreting the data. Thats why every study has a "discussion" section. For example I could easily use fossils and fit them into the christian worldview. I could also make up a new hypothesis and fit fossils into that. It does not matter.
Thats why a good debater will not use these types of arguments anyway because they don't prove anything. They dont prove christianity, they dont prove evolution. Even if I grant you that fossils exist and are so and so old bla bla - how does it follow from this that evolution is true, and not some alternative hypothesis? Just ask evolutionists this, what is the competing scientific hypothesis for evolution? They cant say creationism, I specified "scientific." They wont be able to name any, because they literally think evolution is a self-evident maxim and no other explanation can explain their basic observations.
Here is an example. Initially they claimed chimpanzee and human DNA are extremely similar, which proves a common ancestor. Then they found evidence of the opposite, but just re-interpeted this contradictory evidence as being "evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence."
So when we find DNA similarities = evolution.
When we find DNA differences = evolution.
The human Y chromosome began to evolve from an autosome hundreds of millions of years ago, acquiring a sex-determining function and undergoing a series of inversions that suppressed crossing over with the X chromosome. Little is known about the recent evolution of the Y chromosome because only...

The evidence always proves evolution, because scientists presuppose evolution is true, so everything just seems to support evolution.
We can also quote evolutionists themselves saying they have no clue:
From: "The Altenberg 16: An Exposé of the Evolution Industry by Suzan Mazur" (shes an evolutionist)
And that is excluding the philosophical challenges of evolution leading to breakdown of metaphysics, like mind not being able to exist, personhood, free will etc.
For example in order to say "there is an external world" you would have to be apart from the external world. But if you think everything is just matter in motion, shaped by chance, then there is no "you" anymore, everything is one. There is no "you" regarding the "world" - the environment and person become one. Its a form of monism, a primitive religious belief where everything taken to be one thing, in this case matter. So in order to have a "you" there has to be some part of a human that is not identical to the environment, aka a mind.
Evolutionist at this point appeal to dumb shit like "emergent properties" which makes no sense, because properties are not physical, but metaphysical. And also, matter relies on properties, even something as basic as "existence" is a property of a thing. Yet they claim that properties "emerged from matter" - how exactly did "existence" emerge from matter before existence was a thing?
Here is a good example of this in action, count the contradictions:

“My mind is what my brain does.”
“My mind doesn’t exist.”
"The mind is an emergent property."
Further, what they are appealing too - "emergentism" was literally created as a debunk of materialism when it comes to theory of mind, they just dont seem to know this.
On the basis of evolution, no debate is possible, as evolution removes any basis for morality. Religions, warfare, technology, homosexuality, heterosexuality - it would all be just evolution, neither good nor bad. On this basis, you can not defend any position. Why is anything bad or good? Its just evolution baby! Why should I not believe in something wrong, especially if it benefits me? If I am an incel and I think joining a religion will increase my chances of marriage and sex, why would that be bad?
Evolution also removes any distinctions between species btw, since all labels attributed to species are just arbitrary. Everything breaks down to being one, ultimately. For example, IMO until the late 1800s they were still discussing whether whales are fish or not. Crocodiles are differentiated from alligators by arbitrary markers like having an extra tooth somewhere. Thats like irish people are different species from british people because they are shorter on average or something.
Even a non-religious skeptic can easily reduce evolution or any other secular worldview to total absurdity and mainstream philosophers know that, see quote:
Philosophy of Information (Handbook of the Philosophy of Science, Band 8),
Pieter Adriaans (PhD in theoretical computer science at the University of Amsterdam)Johan van Benthem (Professor of logic at the University of Amsterdam at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation and professor of philosophy at Stanford University)
I would also say, reading this will help massively to deal with philosophical approach to all these questions.

We also dont observe things like causality. Causal relations between events are presupposed, not scientifically verified. Just like you can not verify logic in a scientific experiment. You can also not verify the external world existing. And even if you grant the external world exists and sense data is coming in, you can still question whether that sense data is even sensible - see "myth of the given" or "myth of obviousness."
Here is an evolution debate where the philosophical approach is used in defense of Christianity:
