Testing the Theory of Descent

Abstract
If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down (Darwin, 1859: 189).The comment of Popper (1976:168) that “Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research program-apossible framework for testable scientific theories” is sometimes used to question the scientific status of evolutionary theory.
