It seems prudent to remain calm when examining ideas, especially when dealing with evolution, but a lot of what Darwin said about adaptation, natural selection, and evolution has been proven scientifically...but there are still hollow spots in the theory, which seems fitting, considering that to comprehend all his ideas in totality, if you're not a sci-genius, is overwhelming and most likely impossible.

As far as "Unprovable" goes, the Bible's creation story cannot be proven...albeit, it is an account outside the scientific realm; but just because Darwin's theories haven't been unanimously proven, doesn't rubber stamp the Genesis creation story as the "correct" version of where we came from.

And no doubt always will be. There is always "more to learn", about everything. Though on the whole, we know far more about the theory of evolution than we do about the theory of how gravity works. While there is little doubt among those who understand the issues, that evolution and gravity both "work".

Evolution is, so far, the "best" explanation (theory) for how the species came to exist, then often die off, over the eons. What anti-evolutions don't understand is that it is not sufficient to simply poke holes in evolution to "make it go away". Evolution theory must be *replaced* by something else that explains all that evidence better than evolution theory does. So far, they're not even off the starting block, and they don't even recognize how far they have to go.
