^Man .. I don't believe you know much about evolution and what it is at all. Seriously, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I don't know about the downfalls you speak of, but if you mention them, I can comment on them.

You've probably been taught that evolution is just a theory and that science is just a lot of guessing. It is in a way, scientists will come up with testable hypotheses and then test them to see if they are true or not. Thus they become more than just guesses because they are established empirically. It's a costly, time-consuming process laborously chipping away at Wedontreallyknow mountain.

Religion would say "drop the ball and it will bounce". Science would drop the ball first and then say "It seems the ball bounces. We can accept that until someone proves otherwise".

If there really is a God, then science aims to prove that as well. It's not inherently against religion, but many creationists still feel like it.

You are right, you should always be sceptic and science teaches and uses just that. However, you don't naturally seem very sceptic yourself as you make some pretty outrageous claims. I guess these claims may not be yours to start with, so maybe you should heed your own warnings.
