Following a sideroad discussion...
The scientific method includes 2 episodes. The first consists of formulating hypotheses; the second consists of experimentally testing them. Scientific knowledge focus' more on the second... subjecting hypothesis to empirical testing.
A hypothesis can only be scientific if it is consistent. Evolution is not consistent as it is consistent with some but not other possible states of affairs not observed. Therefore it can not be defined as a theory. There is intelligent design as a counter to evolution.

Been like this since the time we lived in the caves ....
Be a wolf or a sheep ...
There are no wolves in my country... but there are millions of sheep!
And who said we lived in caves. Evolution is a hypothesis.
Evolution is a theory, which is scientifically the best one can achieve. Early man lived in huts and tents, soetimes built near and at the entrance of caves and under overhangs.
