No, there is no theory of evolution,
...only the animals that Chuck Norris allows to live!
In all seriousness, I think there is enough evidence to say that its a
good explanation. There are differing variations on the theory of
evolutions, however, but all were developed logically based on
observation.
On the other the hand, Intelligent design is not based on observation of the world.

Intelligent design is a "belief"
Evolution is science.

There's more than one theory of evolution, but many of them are backed by evidence.
So I vote yes.

It's the most logical theory out there thus far. We know, by the way,
that it happens. Its really a question of whether its they key principle
that shapes differentiation into species, etc. And nearly all studies
conducted thus far imply that that is the case.
The actual mechanisms and processes involved in macro-level genetic
change, however, are still quite ill understood, and this is what
scientists are now working at.

It's backed by more scientific evidence than "Intelligent Design" is. The theory of evolution ahs it's holes of course, but is more logical than believing that god did everything

How many people believe that the theory of evolution is backed by enough evidence to be a good explanation for organisms today?
