Can you name any theories from 1000 years ago that are understood exactly the same way with zero modifications?What? Abiogenesis is a completely different theory than evolution. Evolution only concerns itself with what happened after life arose. God could have created the first life and evolution still be true.
I am unsure if evolution is the best way to understand life because it is an incomplete theory, it rests on unproven elements (abiogenesis) and the nature of science is that science tends to overturn itself fairly regularly.

What makes trusting in science more rational than trusting in other sources of authority?Science values evidence and provable assertions, religion does not. And...science works. If it weren't for science, you wouldn't even be able to post this. Try praying a post onto this forum, see how it works out for you.

Controversial!?! Anyone who still thinks evolution is controversial is ignorant of science.
