“This is not a simple question. There are three issues here - 1) What is the origin of life 2) change of one species to another 3) Changes within a species.

1) The origin of life has not been proven via the scientific method (demonstrated and reproduced). Therefore the theory of evolution is as good as any other.

2) A clear path from one species to another has not been proven via the scientific method (demonstrated and reproduced). Therefore the theory of evolution is as good as any other.

3) Changes within a species has been proven via the scientific method (demonstrated and reproduced). Therefore the theory of evolution is correct when concerns variations within a species - ie. a dachshund and a great dane are of the same species due to evolution.”
