In my opinion, when evolution stays within the realm of counting allele frequencies in a population over time it remains fairly accurate and falsifiable.
However, when it attempts to recreate histories and phylogenies, it becomes fairly pseudoscientific. In many cases, particularly when it comes to speculating about the adaptation for something, the very existence of a possible explanation is treated as if it were the evidence itself as long as it is consistent with the theory. Adaptive stories tend to have a cherry picking element to them.
