Many poeple dont understand what the word "theory" means in sciece. There is a difference betweeen an "unproven" theory (or hypothesis) and an accepted theory. Evolution is accepted, and has been proven as well as any theory of this nature can be.

In fact Darwin's theory is far more established than say, the Standard Model of particle physics. There are open problems in the Standard Model, that everyone agrees with. There is no explanation of how gravity works, so by excluding them, the Standard Model is NECCESARILY incomplete. Does this make it 100% wrong? Of course not.

A theory is just a model of a natural process, it's not a thing or an end in itself. It allows us to understand the natural world better. And the Standard Model and Darwinian evolution through natural selection do that very well, up to a point.

The main way to disprove or challenge a theory is present scientific data that directly contradict it. So far no evidence has contradicted evolution. On the contrary quite the opposite has happened-- the theory has been validated time after time by new discoveries-- in genetics, molecular, paleontolgy, and comparative anatomy.

Darwinian evolution is one of the oldest and most rock-solid scientific theories there is. Is it complete? Certainly not. Darwin doesnt explain everything, like how evolutionary rates are not consistent in every given time and place. Gould attempted to explain that with punctuated equilibrium. Darwin doesnt have a concept of genetics and gives no means by which adapted traits are passed on. Gregor Mendel and his genetic theory did that when it was rediscovered long after Darwin was dead.

Mendel had no idea of how genetic information was passed on-- only with discovery of DNA and the foundations of molecular biology did we begin to understand that.

The remarkable thing is, Darwin knew nothing of these of these things, yet when they were discovered, they only reinforced and fleshed out Darwin's theory. This is what makes it so compelling to us now, more than even when it was developed a century and a half ago.

None of your creationist, biblical GARBAGE helps us understand ANY of these things. Only Darwin does, a humble, quite, sad man who languished for years before publishing a theory he knew would be attacked visciously. He knew he was right, not because he had faith, but because he observed the facts, and induced the truth.

I just wish poeple wouldn't argue against science when they DONT UNDERSTAND science. Having a science degree doesn't make you scientific, just like being a priest doesnt make you a christian--how you think and act does.
