The cool part about a Theory is that it allows you to predict things based on what it states. Evolution predicts a mechanism like DNA that allows change in how proteins are coded over time (120 years before it was discovered), it predicts continental drift, Darwin himself predicted the presence of a moth with a 10 proboscis based on the morphology of a flower years before the pollinator was actually discovered and many others. The basic tenets of Evolution have expanded a lot since Darwin wrote his original work. Frankly biological sciences fall apart without Evolution in the mix for explanation of the origin of features and advantages that certain evolved features have. That we are having this discussion because of deniers that are not challenging the theory on rational grounds is silly. There are forms we pay attention to when we have a legitimate disagreement with findings or interpretations that challenge the methods or materials, the data itself, any of the math or interpretive tools used to interpret the data... in the end the data guides how successful any theory is in the workings of real life events... Evolution is a done deal.. I know I only throw out one comment anymore and that is I am sure God created Evolution as it is the perfect mechanism to fill empty niche locations with life that used the energy there.. after that I tell em to talk to the hand as my head is no longer listening.
