Or, as I've often posted:

"It’s just a theory"

Often this statement is considered a sufficient dissenting argument. But it really is an expression of ignorance about how science works. I remind you that everything we understand about how things work in this world is ‘theoretical.’ Architects consult architectural theory. Structural engineers designing a bridge consult structural engineering theory. Medical doctors consult medical theory. Repeat, scientific theories are discoveries of how our natural reality is organized. To the extent a theory is useful it will be used. To the extent a theory is not useful it won’t be used. Given the power and utility of the theories that form the foundation of modern, technological civilization, a statement like the one above reflects a failure to understand this.

To the extent a theory is not useful it won’t be used.

Evolution is indeed useful.

Useful to promote cruelty (Marx)
Useful to justify the execution of the inferior (Hitler)
Useful to atheists in their self-justification
Useful for breaking down morality
etc. etc.
