Debunking of Modern Evolutionary and Cosmological Theories

I would say your objections stem from an archaic way of teaching/learning science.  A lot of science classes tend to go like this:

1. You're told the concept/theory.
2. You're given the mathematics for solving specific scientific equations/problems.
3. You perform basic and boring experiments where the hypothesis and steps used in the experiment come from a textbook.

In all three, you're essentially a passive witness to science.  Even with 3, you're not actually engaging in the method honestly.  You're just blindly following instructions to a predetermined end, one which is obvious if you pay the slightest bit of attention to what happened earlier in class.

By glossing over the process that is science, you lose the entire point of it.  It might as wgreell be a litany of dates presented in a history class.  That this is just the way it is, with a little going into the 'why' of it, and almost nothing going into how we got to that current understanding.

I hated my middle, high school, and even university intro science classes because of that.  They were beyond boring, and were more focused on regurgitating and memorizing old theories and formulas than the discovery process.

I agree very much. It became clear to me when kids in my family who were in 11th grade or so asked me - isn't physics the same as religion, except that you have to believe in formulas instead of God? From the way it was taught, they couldn't tell the difference!

Yes, all theories are probably wrong.

I'd go for "incomplete" as otherwise that might give religion another chance.

I would like to agree, but I think we're an thin ice claiming that.
I can't help it and come at this from a physicist's perspective, but I ask you: In what sense is relativity a completion of classical mechanics, to use the usual examples? Or in what sense is quantum mechanics that. It's not like we kept Newton mechanics and gravity and added some bells and whistles. It was more like, let's reinterpret all kinds of things and describe them in completely novel ways such that as a limiting case, we get the same approximate results as Newtonian physics.
