I don't quite follow your point. Science explains the physical world with facts and figures, and if a scientific theory is disproven, then all well and good. Some other theory then explains things better. No theory of science has explained the origins of species better than Darwin's theory because, IMO Darwin's theory is the correct one.

If it is your contention that the theory of evolution is wrong because the bible says so, then again, all well and good, but you haven't explained anything scientifically.

BTW, I favor school prayer and religion in our public lives, but I don't think it explains the "nuts and bolts" of the universe very well. Religion never built a TV set or a rocket or a medicine, but it is valid in immaterial things, such as morality.

The point is that one doesn't need to provide a replacement theory to say something isn't right. Debunking -- even without a new explanation -- is still very useful.
