Most posters to this thread do not seem to be interested in science at all, but for casual readers who are, a little remark may not go amiss:

Evolution theory in its present form is based on genetics, discovered after Darwin's time. Its foundational theorems are not a bit worse established than any other branch of science. Such theorems are formulated and tested without reference to a particular time ("deep" or not), thus they can be applied to the past, the future, and other countries etc. with equal degree of certainty. In other words, if they do not apply to the past, they do not apply at all. (To make things even more complicated, the very notion of time has been modified in recent decades, but not in a way that affects paleontology.)
