The onus is upon theists to do the research necessary to show that a deity should be included in science. Since no scientific theory excludes new input, any research would be subjected to peer reviews that would determine if the research results could be duplicated.
Our theory of evolution has become, as Popper described, one which cannot be refuted by any possible observations. Every conceivable observation can be fitted into it. It is thus ‘outside of empirical science but not necessarily false’. No one can think of ways in which to test it.”

True. It's a sound theory.

Evolution is certainly not "outside of empirical science."

Biology students test it routinely in educational labs. I did myself in an undergraduate class. It was fun seeing bacteria evolve before my eyes.

Not true. There is no observable evolutionary process which produced both plant and animal life, each becoming tremendously complex over time, by random, meaningless and undirected events. That doesn't exist.
