Lots of error and misinterpretation. It happens. Science grows and corrects itself (hopefully). What bothers me is that whenever an opponent of evolutions states that there are "lots of error and misinterpretation" they get jumped on. The theory is solid as a rock! The evidence, on the other hand, may be open to some question.

A lot of this is supposition and conjecture, based on evidence which is not always as well understood as we might like.
