i think you are saying that much of this debate is a political issue. if that is the case, i agree with you. yes there is much in science that is not solved by the current theories. science is a process and we are not finished yet. the point of science is to continuously seek to better explain that which we see and experience. no one has suggested that evolution as it stands is a completed theory which wholly explains everything ever. that would be like saying that relativity is the final solution and explanation of the universe. no. there are many things relativity doesn't work for, namely tiny tiny tiny things. physicists have not yet found the unifying theory and neither have biologists. but throwing out all the research that has been done simply because it hasn't yet solved the problem is foolish.
the biggest problem is that many creationists get very very offended when you even suggest anything resembling evolution and assume that you are suggesting that 1. their god cannot exist (which has NOTHING to do with it) and 2. that they are stupid and 3. that they are a product of what they view as inferior things. what people don't realize is that in spite of our higher brain function, we are merely living things. we are no more alive than other living things, including plants and bacteria. life is life. what has our higher brain function done for us but get us into more fights with our fellows anyways?
