I respect the work of scientists,even those who are proponents of evolution. But I realize that it is a form of scientific interpretation, not science itself. Therefore I reject the interpretation of scientific findings into evolutionary terms.
Do you feel that there would be no science in any form without the theory of evolution?

No, of course not. Science existed long before scientists started realizing that biological organisms evolved. Having said that, I can't think of any science that exists in a vacuum, or any that aren't connected to other scientific fields in some way.

I asked that specific question because many sciences contribute to or depend on evolutionary theory. Biology and anthropology for example. I asked medical questions because that science also contributes to, and is dependent on evolutionary theory.

I suppose I'm just trying to get my head around how you decide which of the fields of science are indeed "science" and which fields are just made up stuff.
