If these "scientists" weren't so hellbent on trying to prove this theory maybe they could devote their time, energy and resource's to something useful like curing diseases like cancer and diabetes I think that would be a much more noble task.

Um, what is it, exactly, that you think we do? That we're spending BILLIONS of YOUR tax money doing? There are a few people working specifically on refining--not proving, but refining, the theory of evolution, but most of us are just using the theory to understand exactly what is going on at the molecular level. If we didn't have the unifying theory of evolution as a basis, most of the rest of our work--like curing cancer and diabetes--wouldn't be possible. It would be like trying to develop a new television technology while ignoring the theory of electromagnetism.
