'Science-based' means nothing. ID and Special Creation are just as 'science-based' as evolution. The only real difference is the opposing philosophies behind them.
You're misrepresenting the issue to avoid admitting that evolution is the philosophy of naturalism supported by the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
ToE has been used by naturalists to attack Christianity. That is most assuredly correct. But the science behind what ToE has morphed into today is not a philosophy. It's based on the scientific method. Hypothesis, Observation.Testing, Conclusion. And it, through many hiccups and sideroads, has become the dominant, most rational for the data, explanation based on experiment (not faith) out there today. That's what good science does. It preens out the crap over time and only the ideas that stand the test of time and repeated questioning remain. See Newton's Laws and Maxwell's Equations...
They always do that pretty much right away.
