The truth is Darwin's original theory has been proven false by science...
So the theory had to replace the old premise with new conjecture...
This too is on its way out the door...

There is no "missing link".

Ah the hypothothetical missing link, hang on a moment just need to wet my gill's this fish bowl is getting a little dry, ahh that's better.
Evolution is not linear. The "day is a thousand years..." has no science behind it. That is purely a religious stand point.
Seriously that is not the point you are skipping around another mechanism that is ignored, one that fundementally challenges the linear evolution approach to the subject matter, I have no problem with mutation and trial and error and can even see that as a tool of the creator, I also have no problem with an ancient earth as time for us is not the same thing for God according to scripture, a day is a thousand years and a thousand years but a day before the lord.
Cells breakdown, decay and produce other bad cells. It's called aging, cancer and other known things. DNA can be broken, distorted, changed by a lot of factors from the unknown (being in the womb is a good example), to environmental conditions.
What I am saying is that even if you accept evolution you can not accept a species in isolation, the eco system is actually an organism and it is extremely complex, far more than a human being is, we are living in a protoplasmic soup of virus and bacteria and though probably less than a hundred million viral infections leaves any genetic material in the host cell there are simply so very many virus that this does happen, if that virus was carrying genetic material it picked up from a previous and different host species than it can add that to the genetic make up of the new host overwriting the same sequence with the equivelant from the other species, the cell is self repairing and most such genetic errors will be refected in the active DNA but what about the Endron's, is the self repairing and mitosis function of the genetic material really geared to repair that to the same extent as the active DNA which has the added impetous that it is the functioning code of the cell and has to work so if it does not then the next generation of cell will be subnormal or even die before it undergoes mitosis itself, if of course functional strand's are introduced then it will replicate perfectly normally but foreign traits will be passed on to the next generation and of course given enough of these transfers then sufficial foreign trait's will be passed to make it more like the other host species of any combination of other host species almost like the virus is acting like an ecological immune system and changing and integrating any genetic material which may not have belonged before? or keeping the genetic material common between many species for it's own survivability.

No what I am saying is there is taking on faith like I do with religion and taking on fact.
And here we go with the "It's just a theory" nonsense. I was waiting for this to show up.
Having faith in a theory is not taking on fact it is supporting a personal supposition with agreement in the form of that theory or in this case hypothetical model rather than theoretical model.
Um, you do know that the 9th planet isn't a scientific theory? It's a scientific hypothesis as there isn't enough EVIDENCE to prove it's existence.
I have not seen the Ninth planet yet I believe it exists based on the same system of arguments.
No, what we're talking about is how you are dismissing science to fit your religion.
What we are really talking about is clashing ideology's.

Evolution can only occur if the Big bang was real. And if the universe is expanding…what’s it expanding into?

In the beginning there was nothing and nothing evolved to be everything.
