That evolution happened has not been proven to the point that it has become an unquestionable absolute.
And we all understand that complex things may always leave some room for doubt.
However, we will make no progress and will waste a lot of time if we don't allocate somethings as having so little doubt that it has become foolish to continue to spend a lot of effort continuing to operate as if they are not "abosolute".
In the case of evolution happening (not how it happened but that it did, indeed, happen) we have reached that point. It happened. Life on Earth has undergone large changes over long periods of time.
As I understand it, most of the proponents of ID agree that it did. What they are talking about is
how it happened.
Which are you?
When new discoveries are made things will change. Don't worry about that. In the meantime, we operate with the best explanation of the already made discoveries. To remain perpetually confused waiting for some final answer is to make no progress
