Darwinism is good science?

How so?

It's good science because it follows scientific method, which is the standard of good science. I mean, we see evolution all the time. Virus' mutate, separated species adapt to their environment, etc. Evolution happens. If you want to argue how life was created is a different thing, but to think that Chihuahua's have been here since the beginning of time is ridiculous.

When properly applied, yes.

How so?

The theory of evolution makes falsifiable predictions (some examples), which can be tested by evidence.

To refer to the current state of evolutionary research as Darwinism is inaccurate; the theory as advanced by leaps since Darwin's time; Darwin's basic idea still holds, but has changed considerably since Darwin's time.

There are still gap's in evolutionary theory, admittedly, just as there are gaps in any scientific theory (even the theory of gravitation). More and more of these gaps are continuously filled in as research continues.
