It is quite plain that no evolutionary hypothesis is correct, or, as those who espouse ‘intelligent design’ have adequately proved, even possible.
However, proving someone else’s hypothesis is incorrect is not proof that your hypothesis is correct. At the present time, there is no scientific hypothesis that correctly describes origins. I am convinced no rational case can be made for why it must be known how everything got here. It’s here and is what it is and that is what science must study.
As for, “intelligent design,” considering the life on this planet, I can think of no greater insult than to blame someone for designing it. The death, disease, governments, and war it is presently dominated by is hardly intelligent.
Consider this, to remove any ‘creator’ from our very existence including the beginning of our universe is to remove any ‘thought or intelligence’ from the equation. By definition, you are ultimately left with an existence from stupidity.
…that if we would maintain the value of our highest beliefs and emotions, we must find for them a congruous origin. Beauty must be more than accident. The source of morality must be moral. The source of knowledge must be rational.
- Sir Arthur Balfour

The above is quite well stated and astute.
Well done.

The above, well, not so much. It seems an abrupt shift in to philosophical polemic.
