The problem with evolution (as with ID) is that anything you bring up could be explained as "a product of evolutionary mechanism". (just as in ID anything can be explained as being created by God)
There is no clear idea as to what observation(s) could falsify the General Theory of Evolution. Therefore its status as a theory is weak at best before theories like the Theory of Special Relativity which has a clearly defined mathematical framework. If observations are made which deviate from what the theory predicts, the theory is falsified -- just like Newtons laws were falsified by relativity experiments.
