A. It's falsifiable.
B. Evolutionary theory is used by drug companies, research into genetic
disease and in the tracking and understanding of contagious diseases. Cut
it off, and you doom your country to becoming reliant upon other nations for
its medicines and techniques.

What prestige it has gained is because it has given answers to problems that
thousands of years of superstition could not.

it was scientists who through out the rubbish of a master race.

You don't find medicine and understanding of disease a technological
application?

This is a fallacious appeal to consequences.

YOu go ahead. My country and others will continue researching it. Maybe if
you're lucky we won't let the US completely collapse into ignorance and
superstition.
