Quote from 2cents:
"explanations"? dunno about that... in any event, a given scientific theory doesn't need to concern itself with alternative scientific theories... insofar as the theory is not contradicted by direct observational evidence, the "proof" resides in falsifiable predictions and relevant experiments

Quote from Jampilier:
A scientific theory certainly does have to concern itself with interpretations of evidence.
So, where is the observation that allows "evolution" to the exclusion of all competing explanations.
Quote from john dough:
If you can't produce credible affirmative proof for your assertions, other than dismissive statements, e.g., "design is self-evident" and "no way to prove or disprove chance", then your hypotheses are no more sound than a hypothesis advancing the actual existence of Middle Earth.
