Please explain how a theory based on randomness as in random mutation is sound science.

Once man evolved and had the intelligence to manipulate evolution to his desires, evolution ceased to be a viable explanation to what happens over time.

Man manipulated certain species of animals to appeal to himself. 100,000 years ago you did not have the number of breeds of dogs you have today. Man manipulated the canine for certain traits. The same with cats, horses, cattle, and his environment.

Evolution itself is evolving as man becomes more intelligent.

I believe that the spark of life was created by God and we have continued to evolve over time. Yes....my belief is dependent on a component of faith but I believe the concept of a creator need not exclude evolution,in fact,our evolution could well be part of the plan. From the words of one of my favorite songs...

you beat me to it this time. I was just reading about it looking for what you posted.
Knowing it has been proven and the word "THEORY" is just a tag still hung on what Einstein first brought up back in the early turn of of the 20th century..

Nope.

Religious beliefs aside, I also don't agree the way Evolution/Darwinism is presented as an undeniable fact. Other possibilities like Creationism and Alien Colonization are just as possible as Evolution. Until we get a time machine we will never know 100% how man came to be.
