Here we go again...

That's why [Darwinism] is still a "theory".

Darwinism is a theory of how evolution happened. Evolution itself is not a theory. Maybe it happens through another mechanism besides natural selection, but there is no question that it happens.

It as well established as belief in a spherical Earth before there were artificial satellites.

Why does it happen?

What is the cause and effect?

Natural selection or genetic predisposition? (i.e.DNA)

Darwin has the only plausible theory to explain it, but it is still dreadfully incomplete. That doesn't mean it is wrong, but it does mean that portions of it MAY BE wrong. We have no way of knowing which parts.

And was that a rational belief or irrational belief?

The Flat Earth Society had a rational belief too, and a theory to prove it.

So your point about well established belief is ....??
