I haven't spent as much time as I should on the evolution creation debate but I do know that the evolutional theory is certainly no more testable than the intellegent design theory. I have spent a fair amount of time reading popular scientific jourals, but that is like reading the church organ... there is no dispassionate observation.

Evolution is most certainly testable. It's tested every time a new fossil is discovered or a new genetic code is mapped. Evolutionary theory makes a lot of predictions, specifically predictions of what is related to what and when certain groups of animals will show up in the fossil record. Anything that might crop up that doesn't fit those predictions (and is thoroughly vetted to determine if the problem isn't in the methodology) can throw a monkey wrench into the works.
