No it’s not because the general problem with evolutionist thinking is that you can use it to explain anything you want and its opposite.

“That makes no sense.”

It is a theory based on rhetorical argument as opposed to other theories that are based on mathematical equations (for example f=ma, e=mc^2, etc). Since it is not based on any firm structure, we are told to simply trust the scientists who support it. But what if they can’t be trusted?

Cell theory, germ theory, plate tectonics?

I trust the massive general agreement as it grew up in the absence of corrupting influences. Actually, I don't trust the scientists. I looked at the evidence and found it to be by far the most convincing scientific theory.
