Since none of our Darwinists seem up to the job.....let me help.
One of the most recent theories of evolution is that of Masatoshi Nei, called "Mutation-Driven Evolution."
From Amazon:
"...a new mechanistic theory of mutation-driven evolution based on recent advances in genomics and evolutionary developmental biology. The theory asserts, perhaps somewhat controversially, that the driving force behind evolution is mutation, with natural selection being of only secondary importance. The word 'mutation' is used to describe any kind of change in DNA such as nucleotide substitution, gene duplication/deletion, chromosomal change, and genome duplication."

Did you see this phrase: "....perhaps somewhat controversially...."
That's the 'uh oh.'
There is no universally accepted evolution theory.
Guess why.
Anyone what to guess why so many spring to the defense of evolution....when there is no proof?
What do you mean not up to the job? I answered your question quite simply. Yes it's true that there is no universally accepted evolutionary theory, that in no way means that evolution is false. This is a new theory as to what drives evolution, it's still true that life evolves it just means that there is some debate as to why. No one is saying animals don't evolve except the creationists.
..."it's still true that life evolves it just means that there is some debate as to why."
Actually there is no such proof.
If there are no examples of one species changing to another, evolution is no less based on faith than is any religion.
You misunderstand evolution. No one is saying that one species evolves into another. There are PLENTY of examples of evolution; antibiotic resistant microorganisms for one. Evolution is not based on faith, evolution is based on observation of fact. One sees that the staphylococcus aurius bacteria evolved to become resistant to methicillin which had been used to fight it. There is no fath involved in that.
