"Darwin himself acknowledged the many flaws in his own theory."

That was because he wasn't a dogmatist. He believed in science and knew science meant improvements based on subsequent discoveries. No such discovery will ever show intelligent design is true, because it involves in the supernatural.

Darwin just presented a more rational model, which disputed the argument of that time("argument by design" theories). Of course, many anti-evolutionists call evolution -- "darwinism" because Darwin was the first to put forth the idea. It is like calling the field of genetics "mandelism", because the monk Gregor Mendel from 17th century discovered genetics.

I think you are looking at it all wrong. All science does is make us increasingly aware of how little we really know about anything. There are any number of questions that science will never be able to answer for us. In fact you could argue that science and faith are so intertwined that one could not exist without the other.
