Scientific Case Against Evolution?

http://64.39.30.79/columnists/locke/2001/locke08-20-01.htm

Yah, the right loves taking pot shots at the evil Darwin. But I admit that these books which I've not read may present a rational criticism unlike the fundamentalist creationists (in my opinion). It disturbs me that Popper, whom I respect, criticizes evolution as possibly non-scientific, in that it's predictions are not falsyfiable. I think Popper is not right here in that we could isolate a species of say bacteria, expose them to a controlled environment and "evolve" a new species more apt to thrive in that environment. I've read Richard Dawkins' "The Blind Watchmaker" and many other books (Gould, et. al.) but nothing much recently.
