Science isn't about either specifically breaking down or proving old 
theories; it's about both, or neither, depending on the evidence.  If 
evidence shows that an old theory is *mostly* correct, you don't 
completely discard the old theory; you just modify it so it also 
incorporates the new data.

Also: what are you supposed to call it if you believe something (we'll 
call it "God") created everything and the rules by which everything 
works, and at least has the capacity to directly interfere, whether or 
not it does such, and things like evolution and physics are a result of 
those rules?  Since "Intelligent Design" has been co-opted..
