Hypothesis become theory when the scientist community test some idea by using conventional scientific methods and confirming the results as positive. However, no matter how many studies had been made and how many experiments but none has given the positive results in favour of fictitious theory of evolution by natural selection.
Trust me the day scientists would discover an authentic evidence in favour of evolution, all atheist would be dancing on the streets. However, theory of evolution by natural selection is an atheist delusion because they are trying to prove something, which is not part of nature.
I think you missed the point entirely there, which is that evolution isnt alone in being based on guesswork. Practically all science is, so saying evolution is guesswork isnt detrimental to it, it's just stating the obvious to anyone who understands science.
"In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s really true. Then we compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare the computation results to nature, or we say compare to experiment or experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works.
If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are who made the guess, or what his name is… If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.”
