I know enough to recognize that you're lousy at both.
To have the remotest sting that insult would have to come from someone who isn't so
deep down the rabbit hole that they can't even accept evolutionary theory because their
multi-millennia old book of fairy tales tells them not to.
That removes any and all credibility you could possibly have in talking about science and
skepticism.
Evolution cannot at this point be disproved because IT HAS BEEN PROVEN.
It could have been found to be false, but it PASSED the tests needed to verify that it happens.
We have observed evolution happening in all its forms and have multiple independent confirmation
of common descent and shared ancestry.
There are mountains of evidence for evolution and not one single shred of evidence that contradicts it.
Now could we discover that evolution doesn't explain everything and thus we need evolution
plus something else to deal with the tiny special case where it doesn't work... quite possibly,
there are already other known mechanisms for Species to change that are not evolution,
horizontal gene transfer for example, but it is literally not possible (barring the discovery that
we are all living in the matrix, or other similar) for evolution to be disproven.
The existence of Evolution is a fact.
And it always will be.
ID on the other hand is religious creationism dressed up as pseudo science by the PR guys of the
various fundamentalist anti-science ignorance peddling control freak religious sects that advocate it.
It never has been, and never can be, science.
I have explained why in detail before, and can do again if you have forgotten or missed the explanation.
