I have no idea what alternative scientific theories may be out there as the science community and its bully squad, of which you appear to be a member, don’t allow discussion of anything but evolution. I did not raise intelligent design or creationism as alternatives - you did.

In poll after poll, here and in other countries, science has not sold evolution to the majority of the people.

BTW, what is science’s Theory of Creation? After creation, there is evolution or adaptability, perhaps, but, it’s a pretty big stretch to expect people to believe that inert chemicals just decided to become living entities. There is absolutely no evidence, scientific or otherwise, that non-living material can suddenly become living material. Even with a Frankenstein-like blast of energy.

The Theory of Evolution has many flaws, but the scientific community is unwilling to allow the consideration of other ideas. And I am not including creationism in this criticism, just alternative scientific theory.

Now you admit:

The reason science sticks with the theory of evolution is because it very useful for explaining millions of data points (facts). No other explanatory tool has shown even remotely the degree of explanatory power as has the theory of evolution.

But back to your statement that you believe that a scientific "bully squad" is suppressing many good ideas. Shouldn't you at least be able to name a few of those ideas? That's the way science works: one must back up one's claims with evidence.
