Evolution is an unproven theory and has been so since its inception. There is absolutely no proof for the hypothesis of evolution in Darwin and science has been disproving Darwinian theory almost since its inception.

Really? Tell me, then, why do we scientific geek types bother constructing elaborate phylogenetic charts showing the relationship between various organisms (usually with respect to a single gene), how similar they are and how long ago they diverged, if the theory underlying the charts is false? So many biochemical observations support the theory; please enlighten me as to the experimental data or observations which disprove it? Keep in mind that while a theory cannot be conclusively proven (it's like proving a negative), it can be disproven by a single well-planned experiment. If such an experiment exists, I am as well qualified as anyone to judge its validity and scientific merit.

One example is Mendellian genetics. Because any allele has only half a chance of being passed on to the next generation, the spread of even favorable mutations is pretty much impossible. In addition, a gene is so complicated that the creation of new ones, coding for new faculties, new phenotypes, is also practically impossible.
