Darwin is still a theory.

So is gravity.

There are major gaps in the fossil record.

There are known inconsistencies between relativity and quantum mechanics. Shall we throw them out and just decide that God makes everything move?

Are there other explanations that contain gaps? Yes, Intelligent Design.

And Zeus, Xenu, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and a few thousand others. How come ID is the preferred "theory"?

So why does one find favor and the other is found faulty?

Because there's lots of evidence to support one and none to support the others.

"There are known inconsistencies between relativity and quantum mechanics. Shall we throw them out and just decide that God makes everything move?"

Of course not, nowhere in my post did I allude to that. But as inconsistencies do exist in many theories, those deviations are readily cited, whereas in high school science curriculum the gaps in Darwin's theory are never mentioned.

Do you think the gaps should be made mention of. And if you do, why wouldn't you suggest other theories.
