Evolution has been proven time and time again

Claptrap, if it was it would be called the Law of Evolution,
not the Theory of Evolution.

Like all Creationists you're intentionally mixing up the definitions of
scientific hypothesis, theory, and law.

A hypothesis is, say, that the world is only 6,000 years old. It remains a
hypothesis because there's no valid evidence to support it and never will
be.

"A scientific theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. A
theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based
upon proven hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of
researchers. One scientist cannot create a theory; he can only create a
hypothesis.

In general, both a scientific theory and a scientific law are accepted to be
true by the scientific community as a whole. Both are used to make
predictions of events. Both are used to advance technology."

Evolution is not a law because there are variables in it which have not yet
been explained, although more of them are being understood every year. Only
invariables like Boyle's Law are called scientific laws, and there very few
of them.

Evolution the new Religion all you need is faith.

No, evolution, like any legitimate science, is based on a collection of
facts which have been tested and confirmed over and over again. Creationism,
like any religious belief, is based on faith alone, and "faith is being sure
of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. ~ Epistle to the
Hebrews 11:1
