In a pub shurely?
Given that there are more pubs named after him than whorehouses.

Either that, or He made Bessemer immune to the pox in order to facilitate his process - he lived til 85. Not a bad innings, especially in those days.

But we can measure plate techtonics and mountain building now, slow as it may be. No one has ever seen any molecule, complex or otherwise spring to life. If it can't be duplicated, it ain't science. I'm not claiming Creation as science, and I don't believe evolution of slime into living organisms is science either. Change the definition of scientific method into "I think so," and then you can call it science. Right now, it's not even a theory, it's a hypothesis.

We can validate muddy people making bicycles today. We can't find any bicycles creating themselves.

We can observe evolution now, slow as it may be.

We can't duplicate Pangaea, but we can work our way back from current plate tectonics observations, and verify using matching strata and fossils.
