Until a competing scientific explanation is offered evolution is settled science.

I presume that you mean a purely naturalistic explanation, regardless of the truth.

If it isn't naturalistic it simply isn't Science, seeings as how the poster was looking for a “competing scientific explanation” then supernatural mumbo jumbo is excluded.

Do you think Science can measure God? Do you think Science can get God to act reproducibly in the laboratory? If yes to either or both then God isn't much of a god. If no, then God will never be part of Science. Why is faith not enough?

I presume that you mean a purely naturalistic explanation, regardless of the truth.

I was clear in stating that it would have to be a scientific explanation to affect the current established science-- evolution through natural selection. As to "truth" the only proven methodology for establishing truth is scientific method. Everything else is superstition and wishful thinking.
