"the following qualifiers [are] used to buttress the claims of evolution:...[snip]"

Those who use such wishy-washy qualifiers to buttress their claims, have no other legitimate choice.

According to Charles Darwin, himself, the ultimate purpose of macroevolution (Darwinianism)is survival: not the production of true beliefs.

"With me, the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man's mind, which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey's mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?" ~ Charles Darwin

Patricia Churchland agrees with Darwin:

"Boiled down to essentials, a nervous system enables the organism to succeed in the four F's: feeding, fleeing, fighting, and reproducing. The principle chore of nervous systems is to get the body parts where they should be in order that the organism may survive. . . . . Improvements in sensorimotor control confer an evolutionary advantage: a fancier style of representing is advantageous so long as it is geared to the organism's way of life and enhances the organism's chances of survival. Truth, whatever that is, definitely takes the hindmost."

LOL
