Mere lack of evidence, of course, is no reason to denounce a theory. Look at intelligent design. The fact that it is bollocks hasn’t stopped a good many people from believing in it. Darwinism itself is only supported by tons of evidence, which is a clear indication that Darwin didn’t write his books himself. Eric Idle
About This Quote

If you are not convinced of the theory by the evidence, it is not logical to completely discredit it. Intelligent design is an example of a theory that science has disproven. Many believe that intelligent design is just as valid as evolution, but science disproves this theory because it is based on faith and faith does not provide reliable evidence. Darwinism, on the other hand, has been proven true by science.
