All right. Please outline your theory of how life diversified, the falsification criteria, and what evidence there is for this.

Yes please do. If the issue is an interpretation of evidence then the creationist must have an explanation, a possible falsification, and lots of evidence. I'll be waiting in the wings.

Technology works while science is constantly has to be corrected because it's based on human opinion.
That sounds like a cop out. Technology is simply applied science and if you think technology works from the outset then you do not live in the real world. Technology is subject to exactly the same kind of necessary revision as science and for the same reason: new evidence and improved interpretations of existing evidence.

If you seriously believe that science is based on opinion, then you have failed to study the matter with any level of seriousness. You owe it to yourself to do so, sooner rather than later.

Old technology is replace with new technology yet the old technology still works. The more science is based on human opinion the more it has to changes when discovering new facts. Science can not test the past only the present. Historical science is like a hot air balloon , it's a butch of hot air held together with a thin layer of facts.

How life diversified deals with the past without any eyewitnesses so you only got revelation or speculation.

Lol, eyewitness testimony is your only benchmark for what happened before today? That's quite good coming from someone whose whole belief system revolves around a story without any eyewitness testimony.

We do have eyewitness testimony that Jesus Christ raised from the dead and their testimony impacted the world.

Hard evidence still need to be interpreted. you could have hard evidence you are guilty of a murder but it only take a little evidence to reveal you were set up.
Ok. Would you like to demonstrate how all hard evidence in favor of evolutionary radiation has been misinterpreted by coincidence?

I disagree with your worldview that the evidence fix evolution. (plus that get to the heart of the matter , man's evolution.) I see the emperor naked.

Okay, so, just so we're clear, you think that anything for which there is no eyewitness testimony is completely speculative? That we have no way of making clear inferences about the past?

We do have eyewitness testimony that Jesus Christ raised from the dead and their testimony impacted the world.

Which testimony? I mean, you say Paul recorded over 500 eyewitnesses, but Paul was not himself present.

Strange then that none of them wrote down what they saw.
Sure is, isn't it?

Amid severe persecution, where they went door-to-door searching for Christians ...

Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

... everyone had Jesus' resurrection written in their diaries, didn't they?

Did this story of appearing to 500 happen before or after the story of the ascension?
