I do, however, believe, that an inability to provide any estimate whatsoever as to the likelihood or possibility of evolution occurring is a strike against the theory. Perhaps not a fatal blow, but a serious shortfall .
There is quite a difference between being able to observe evolution via the evidence of fossils, genetics, laboratory experiments, and real life observations and being able to explain
all the fine points of how it occurred.
You can't erase all of the evidence for evolution because of not knowing the exact rate of mutation for 3.8 billion years, though I'm sure creationists would like to do so.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
