Even Darwin himself admitted the possibility that discoveries may be made to negate his theory.

Why are creationists obsessive about Darwin? Evolution theory has advanced for well over a hundred years after Darwin, and has yet to be even seriously challenged (except in the imaginations of some non-scientists).

Darwin is interesting scientific history, but it seems only opponents of evolution personalize the issue against Darwin.

The most interesting thing about Darwin is that his theory is so robust that it predicts things like the ERV virus DNA insertions that are the smoking gun of common descent of apes and humans. They show that a single individual got a virus millions of years ago and passed the DNA sequence down to both it's ape and human descendants. Darwin really hit the ball out of the park on that one.
