The theory of evolution very much drives experimental science. I cannot imagine even trying to formulate a working hypothesis if I did not take into consideration various elements of the ToE. I do not think my work would be possible without it.

Self-selection error. LOL.

Not hardly. No matter what your line of work, choosing the right tools for the job facilitates the work. In my case, the toolkit includes the Theory of Evolution, among other tools.

On a local radio station, I hear an ad where a hairdresser is asking a woman how she would like her hair cut and styled. After she explains her wishes, the hairdresser fires up a chainsaw. Trying to formulate workable hypotheses using the literal creation story out of Genesis instead of the ToE bears a lot of resemblance to the hairdresser trying to style the client's hair with a chainsaw.

I wrote "self-selection" error since there are many experimental sciences which don't give a rat's tail about genetics, TOE, abiogenesis, or the like.

Computational fluid dynamics comes to mind; as does Group Theory; or yet again mechanical engineering.

You get the idea.

Cheers!
