In the field of logic “sufficiency” of explanation is not “exclusivity” of other “sufficient” explanations. As long as any other theory also has “sufficiency” then the explanations remain competing.

As far as I am aware no-one has proposed any other scientific theory apart from ToE that explains the observations of the fossil record, DNA diversity, geographical location of species, homologies etc etc etc. What competing theory are you referring to? How exactly is it phrased? What predictions does it make? How could it be falsified? Describe the competing theory(s?) and we can all examine it(them).

I do not pretend to be sufficiently qualified to personally put forward a theory that adequately competes with the theory of evolution. Having said that, I believe I am, or anyone else is, sufficiently qualified to question the current theory of evolution on the basis of its seeming discrepancies. (See post #468 --- I think that is the correct number.)

Additionally, I believe that anyone is sufficiently qualified to challenge advocates of the theory of evolution to defend it against other theories such as intelligent design. Furthermore, when logical fallacies are used in such a defense, it is also my contention that anyone can, and should, challenge these fallacies.

It will be a cold day in H E double hockeysticks before he will be able to post a theory for you. But, I am sure he will be able to tell you a theory that isn't one that Ken Ham or Behe has fabricated.
