You must admit, a lot of the evidence for evolution is indirect and incomplete.

I can admit that for a large number of theories that exist today; many of which can be applied in building the electronics for cell phones and personal computers.

One thing I do know is science doesn't attempt to answer phenomena with "an unknown intelligent being" like Intelligent Design does. If science did, we would be in very big trouble for we would think that lightning strikes, tornadoes, aerodynamics, and many other studies to be the simple work of God.

For example, let's say you lived near a dormant volcano but recently it has started to vent steam. Now the US Geological Survey sends out a volcanologist and after some studying the town asks him/her "is it going to erupt?". And he/she answers, "Well... it depends on if this town has been faithful to God or not."

I would think you would want another volcanologist.

Don't bet on it. Maybe some would like to go back to those good old days, when witch doctors and shamans and the high priests of '_____ ' (fill in the blank) declared the cause of all things and prescribed the means and methods to avoid future disaster.
