Please explain, in detail, how evolution equals junk science.

I’ve always wanted to hear that explained myself.

It's been repeatedly disproven over a very long period of time, and from a dozen or more different angles, and yet the luddites go on with it. One example involved fruit flies which breed new generations every day or two. Comprehensive studies of fruit flies over several decades as was done in the early decades of the last century amounts to studying more generations of fruit flies than there have ever been of humans or anything much like humans. They subjected those fruit flies to every agent known to cause mutations and then recombined the mutants every possible way, and all they ever got was fruit flies, sterile freaks, and freaks which returned to being fruit flies after one generation because all the information there was in the genetic code for the fruit flies was how to build a fruit fly.

This amounted to a laboratory disproof which was so unambiguous that several major scientists publically repudiated Darwinism at the time, including the famous case of Richard Goldschmidt who offered up his "hopeful monster" theory as an alternative. He subsequently claimed to be being subjected by colleagues to something similar to George Orwell's ten-minute hate sessions from "1984".

That's one angle on it, there are a dozen or so others.

Please explain in detail how evolution is a fact and is true. (we both know that this is impossible) I’m not saying that science is a religion but I am saying that the belief in evolution is.
