Incorrect.  String theory can be 'falsified' by physics..

This again proves that you're abjectly ignorant, and unable to do
much more than simple suggest nonsense in that face of a serious
inquiry into modern physics and theoretic math constructs.. 

And you have trouble with even simple numbers..

Yes, and how 'convenient' for you to suggest that you even have
the slightest experience or academic study to even have an opinion
on the matter..

Examples follow..

"Wind power is especially dirty."

"I'd like to see the wall socket upgraded for AC as well."

"Then I checked the number and it was 3.1% which is about 3.5%."

"39% is close enough to 50% to be clear the claim is absurd."

"I'm not a hypocrite or a dittohead."

You sup****t "intelligent design", which you are a contradiction of..

We aren't at the "adjust" stage, as the basic premise is still very
much open to conjecture.  You're too illiterate in the studies of
science to know the difference between a conjecture and a testable
hypothesis, and falsely lump all of that into "theory" to suit your
ambitious, right-wing proselytizing ignorance..

It isn't, so quit trying to masquerade your phony religion as
'science'..

>I mean if God did it, you can't say that God didn't do it [..]

Which instantly falsifies your pseudo-logic..

>I don't see that there's really a limit on what "evolution" means.

Yeah, well an opthorectomy might cure that..
