So I found this over at Answers in Genesis Busted and thought this is a great explanation of evolution "theory" as compared to say the theory of gravity. For those of you not familiar with the arguments this provides a good summary with many of the standard creationist arguments straight from them, as well as some of the major scientific theories of the last couple 1000 years that have come and gone (many after as little as 50 years of testing) while evolution has held up to 150 years so far. It is worth 10 minutes of your time.

"An ocean away and many waves between"
An atheist's creed
I believe in time,
matter, and energy,
which make up the whole of the world.I believe in reason, evidence and the human mind,
the only tools we have;
they are the product of natural forces
in a majestic but impersonal universe,
grander and richer than we can imagine,
a source of endless opportunities for discovery.I believe in the power of doubt;
I do not seek out reassurances,
but embrace the question,
and strive to challenge my own beliefs.I accept human mortality.
We have but one life,
brief and full of struggle,
leavened with love and community,
learning and exploration,
beauty and the creation of
new life, new art, and new ideas.I rejoice in this life that I have,
and in the grandeur of a world that preceded me,
and an earth that will abide without me.source: PZ Myers
