Creation "science" again
This is why for me, the ToE is a weak paradigm. The proof of it was always none-existent...
In science we don't use "proof" but rather, as in a court, preponderance of the evidence. The only ones seemingly demanding proof all the time are creation "scientists" who, for some reason, keep on with this strawman no matter how often they are corrected.
The theory of evolution, whether you like it or not, explains the evidence. Further, it makes predictions that can be checked, and so far those predictions have not been falsified. No other hypothesis has been able to reach this standard. Certainly not "design theory."
...yet it was accepted despite the powerful facts of design, because people don't want to believe in God, otherwise He is God and they are not, and that way they get to say their sins aren't sin.
There is no evidence for creationists' "design theory" in science. "Design theory" is strictly a religious belief -- as your sentence demonstrates. You present no evidence, just a catechism recital. Do you think that is going to impress scientists?
And don't you realize that creation "science" is the exact opposite of real science?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Drummed up controversy
you are extremely wrong on the controversy of the science
No so. The controversy is between mainstream science and anti-science fundamentalists trying to drum up controversy.
and btw, Darwinism is a widely accepted term for ToE...
Among fundamentalists maybe. Whenever a poster comes here and starts throwing the term "Darwinism" about, odds are about 10,000:1 that it is a fundamentalist rather than a scientist.
also, the Cambrian explosion is quite a problem in the fossil record...
Perhaps you could tell us why you think this?
