Hi John,



Your comments here are great.  I usually bit my tongue when I hear 

people talking about evolution as if its as well understood or as reliable 

as Newton's laws of motion.  



When we have theories like this in physics, we say "What a lousy 

theory - we need a new one."  The only reason it "survives" as a theory 

is that it has no competition (at least for atheists).
