Indeed one falsified fossil will not take down evolution. But I find it hilarious he cheery picks from talkorgins while ignoring all the stuff that shows evolutionary biology fits the most rigid definition of science
To be clear, it was the proposed timeline that was falsified (the earlier end of the timeline for tetrapods). Which, as you said, no big deal anyway, since the theory of evolution can stand even with the proposed timeline being wrong.
Fact is there's just too much solid evidence to refer to when it comes to evolution, it's been put to the test so many times and yet keeps passing them, and multiple independent fields of inquiry all converge to the same conclusion which is evolution. So it's irrational at this point to keep disagreeing with the evolutionary science. You can challenge certain specific details here and there, but evolution broadly speaking has been conclusively established a scientific fact.
