But the theory of evolution and the fact of evolution are two different things. Populations of organisms evolve - this is the fact of evolution, a fact observed so often that to deny it becomes and act of intellectual perversity, akin to dropping a hammer on your foot and denying the fact of gravity.
How organisms evolve is the theory of evolution. The current model is a combination of mutation, natural/sexual selection and genetic drift. This theory is pretty widely supported by people who (unlike yourself) actually understand biology.\

Yes, allele frequencies become more frequent when they are selected for. That is not what is being argued. We are arguing whether the selected individuals are selected after they have mutated to become superior, or whether the selected individuals are the ones who have more functional genomes due to not having mutated sequences.
What about the many examples of what, at least on the surface, appear to reflect design?
