A theory is already proven useless if it has too break several scientific laws in order to supported.

Also I mentioned the mathematicians b/c they have proven with math and our hard scientific knowledge of DNA and the assumed rate of ‘good’ mutations that not billions nor trillions of years would still not make evolution even close to possible nor probable. But obviously ymmv...
