Of course all this is subject to change if someone else comes up with a more believable theory that doesn't include God. This is what you call Science.

Sorry for singling out just one part of your post, but I think it's warrented because we've been over it countless times in countless different threads, and it's constantly ignored. The theory of evolution does not attempt to explain how life was created. Let me repeat:
The theory of evolution does not attempt to explain how life was created.
You're a Christian. Your religious beliefs give you a theory of everything: the creation of the universe, the earth, life on earth, mankind, our intelligence, our moral code, human history, everything in one package, even how the world will ultimately come to an end. They're such a complete package that it's difficult for you to remove any single part of this theory without the entire thing collapsing. Fine. But that's not the way science works. Science is full of small, discreet theories that each explain and predict a limited scope of things. Do we have a complete picture of life on earth? Nope, not by a long shot. Do we have an excellent understanding of the mechanisms through which life on earth continues to change? Yup. You accuse scientists of constantly revising what evolution means, but it is you who are adding less developed theories on to evolution as though they're the same thing, and then attempting to discredit these theories as a way of discrediting evolution.
