Some of these disciplines are very empirical and provable. Some of the underpinnings and other areas of the evolutionary model are not empirical or provable and there remain gaps in the evolutionary model, or the evidence for the evolutionary model, that are pretty foundational and important but almost universally ignored by the majority of armchair experts here and elsewhere.

Like all good scientists, we will gladly accept new theory's or if anything is found to contradict Evolution it would be peer reviewed and debated until accepted through the scientific method.
I don't discount anything about Evolution, its a theory that attempts to answer something on a huge scale that has occurred over such a huge plane of time that of course you'll start with a solid base theory and over 100's of years build up the collection of evidence to support it; or of course find evidence to disprove or contradict it.
Obviously the strength of this theory grows with the passage of time as more evidence is found and strengthens it. Of course there is holes, what did you expect from such a vast plane of time in our existence to study/examine from?
The venom of the Evolutionists comes from this topic, that creationist 'science' seeks to be tought beside such a Goliath of a theory with equal representation brings out the anger and ire of scientists and secularists who don't want their children indoctrinated in public schools by ID trying to disguise itself as a viable alternative theory to Evolution.
ID is a joke, its creationism trying to sneak its way into public school science. It has no place but in churches, bible collages, bible camps, home study, etc..
