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. 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.

There's no question about it. Portions of Newton's "law" of gravity are wrong, too, but that doesn't mean there is no such thing as gravity.

We have no way of knowing which parts [of Darwin's theory are wrong].Bull. Test, observe, evaluate. Throwing your hands up in dispair adds nothing to the discourse.
