I don't understand what you're implying with this. Science will concede that Newton's laws are approximations, but you can't concede that evolution is as well?

The problem is more that some people won't admit that the scientific method contains faults. It is not the equivalent of a mathematical proof.

Why do I have to do your homework? I say I'm not certain, you say you are. That indicates the burden of proof is on your shoulders. Saying "I don't know" doesn't require a proof. Saying "I do know" does.

I view the theory of evolution as a partial explanation to one factor of the very broad question of "Why and how are we here?" Like I said in my first post - its a piece of a far larger puzzle, one riddled with complexities and uncertainties. As such, claiming there's one golden answer to the whole problem to me seems unintuitive and improbable.

We're adding to the theory of evolution regularly and still looking for evidence to prove any number of models for the origin of life - I'd say at this point its fair to say the jury isn't in yet on the matter.
