Even the church has acknowledged that Darwin was right - easy to check, just go to Westminster Abbey and see Darwin's thomb next to Newton's (apples do fall on the ground, don't they?).
Any discussion on this topic is simply hundreds of years too late. Darwin's theory lead to genetics, genetics lead to the discovery of the genetic code in DNA, and so on, and so on. How much more long term affirmation of a concept does one need? When Darwin discovered evolution, there was no molecular basis for it. It took a genious to anticipate back then what we now know in great detail, as the long path of discovery and confirmation of everything was done million times over. We can even watch evolution in progress, real time now, as for example bacteria mutate and acquire antibiotic resistance, and these events can be traced to a single nucleotide change in DNA.
For all doubting Thomases or doubting Mustafas, I recommend to take some remedial classes or a trip to Westminster Abbey and pay tribute to one of the greatest minds of all time. Or perhaps "put your hand into the lance wound" by going into a lab and ask to do an experiment with evolving/mutating bacteria (it would take you no more than a week, with some help of learning how to run gels) and you will see for yourselves. Do not drag us (and children) back into the dark ages, please...
