Number three is quite doable. The other two need a lot of clarification.
First, there is an open debate. We are doing it, and none of us are going to jail for our opinions.
There is no limition on what may be a testable hypothesis, except that it must be testable.
If you would like to propose an alternative to evolution, fine, but it needs to be compatible with the evidence gathered by science over the last several hundred years.
For new theories to be useful they must predict or account for all existing data, plus predict some yet undiscovered data.

For new theories to be useful they must predict or account for all existing data . . .
Huh?! I see you are a fine creator in your own right. ALL EXISTING DATA?????? Please point me to the schnaz that is the ulitmate probe of the universe and thus is alone qualified to assist in the development of theories.

Meanwhile I'll relax and chug a beer as I wait for those who support the Theory of Evolution to design a testable hypothesis to demonstrate the mechanism whereby a living species can emerge without the agents of either intelligence or design.
