strictly speaking, no theory is falsifiable in isolation. But there is something in the idea nonetheless: what matters seems to be not whether a theory is falsifiable per se but whether evidence bears on it. So a question (such as: which of these theories is correct?) is a scientific question if it is amenable to the methods of science, which ultimately rest on evidence.
