Theories are theories whether an alternative theory exists or not.

In a scientific context, there is no alternative explanation for species diversity to evolution.<<
Species diversity to evolution or Darwinian theory of evolution? Species is LOOSELY defined. WRT evolution, theory and fact are interchangeable (see talkorigins). Biologists have been overstating ToEs for many decades. The mechanisms are loosely defined, like niche competition. The fossil record is a very grainy picture of the past (and the further back the grainier), but is touted as so much proof that no one should question it.
But the best question of the current ToEs is: What major practical application in biology is directly related to a ToE being applied?
Hear the silence?
It has crappy definitions, crappy logic, and no useful major applications. Darwin's theory has been around since what 1859 or so. Maybe it is time for Darwinists to produce or become extinct.
