just thought i'd pull this little snippet of wisdom out of the rest of the post and give it a second look.

a theory is an attempt to explain observations. hence, darwin's theory of evolution is a theory. it is an attempt to explain the observable phenomenon known as evolution, which is itself factually proven. organisms change genetically over time inter-generationally based on environmental stimuli, we know this, we can observe it, and we can prove it.

modern treatment of infection and germ theory is founded as well on the observable phenomenon known as evolution. modern food production is also founded upon our ancestors' observations of evolution. most of our modern crops and domestic animals, for instance, are a product of millenia of engineered evolution.

any world view that rejects observable phenomena are not theories, they are rather known as the insane ramblings of a lunatic.

i'm sure you have been presented this argument before and judged it as preposterous that such a thing as evolution exists and is observable, but maybe this can reach someone else.
