"....no scientific evidence to contradict the theory of evolution has been brought forth."
Not all of the scientific evidence that proves DARWIN'S theories have "been brought forth" either.
If you look at my posts on this issue you'll notice that my point has always been to state that evolutionary theory is a THEORY. As of now and certainly in a scientific realm it is the best answer but it is STILL an incomplete set of evidence.
One other thing: evolutionary theory is not exclusive of the idea of a higher power. To believe in a higher power does not mean one is a biblical literalist but for some on this board a "biblical literalist" is the unfair label ascribed to ANYONE that questions the incomplete physical record that is evolutionary theory.
In other words it is a cheap shot.
They are wrong.
Not accepting evolution doesn't imply the validity of any other theory. It's just says evolution's not the answer, nothing more, nothing less. God might or might not exist, intelligent design could be or could not be - but none of it becomes true by rejecting evolution. No need to postulate beyond necessity...
Creationist believe if they disprove evolution, it's proof that God exist. It's proof that their beliefs trump science.
They are wrong.
If evolution is disproved, it means evolution isn't the answer to how we got here. Nothing more, nothing less.

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Change from generation to generation is a fact. The theory of evolution explains this, along with the facts of the fossil record, DNA, etc.
So, I agree that evolutionary theory is a theory. All science is considered theory and incomplete.
The theory of evolution does not exclude a higher power. It does not address it at all, as there is no way for science to measure a higher power.
Biblical literalists also are outside of the purview of science until they bring themselves into science by their scientific claims. Then they become subject to the scientific method and critical thinking that science provides.
No cheap shot. Religious belief is not scientific evidence.
