Frankly, theres a lot of museum politics involved in this, a lot of careers committed to a particular point of view even if new scientific evidence raises questions, Ruben said. In some museum displays, he said, the birds-descended-from-dinosaurs evolutionary theory has been portrayed as a largely accepted fact
Reminds me of the fact of evolution. People do acquire an unwarranted commitment, and its hard to shake them loose. The commitment to Marxism over the years, up to the present, in Europe and America is staggering, when you consider its inadequate foundation. Evolutionary theory reminds me more of Freudian psychology, able to explain just about everything, but predicting very little. When an evolutionary prediction is found wrong, the prediction is revised with a superior thats science statement. However, being able to explain anything, while predicting little - with the few specific predictions often wrong - is a hallmark of metaphysics (Marxism, Freudian psychology, evolutionary theory), not science.

Quite right. It is never evolution being falsified, only certain outdated ideas about evolution.
