It explains pretty much everything, and it's used on a daily basis 
world-wide to make drugs and other predictions.  People have used the 
theory of evolution to figure out where to dig for new species, given 
the genes of (IIRC) deer and whales, finding the Missing Link between 
the two when mammals went back into the water.

Sure, it might be wrong, but then maybe the world really *is* flat, too, 
and maybe there's no gravity it's just the earth sucks.

It really doesn't make sense to say "Gee, everything we've done for the 
last 50 years has worked flawlessly, and everything we've predicted has 
come true. But maybe we're doing things ALL WRONG and there's some 
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT theory that would explain every experiment and 
observation every biologist, geneticist, doctor, and nurse has made over 
the last 50 years, *and* includes spontaneous generation of life?"

It seems utterly irrational to me that you'd reject the whole thing 
without any reason.  Postulate that perhaps there's something else, in 
addition, that might be going on that we're not always seeing? Sure. 
That doesn't mean evolution is *wrong*, but that there's other stuff as 
well going on.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
