But evolutionists have been back pedaling since the start of the theory, it's too flexible to be meaningful or decisive. When a theory can cover any combination of facts or a total lack of facts, it doesn't contribute to knowledge. Its like a tautology: something that is true but in a trival way.
What's even worse is when turn of the century philosophers like Nietzche, Marx and Darwin point to evolution as a way of getting rid of God (and specifically Christianity), then they are taking a trivial physical theory and making serve a theological aim.
The problem is this: can any act of creation (the making of an airplane). Limited by the principles of physicalistic science, prove that it was not created by a mind. That is what evolution, in its fullest form, is really trying to do. Its a philosophically nonsensical task.
