For example, AWT presents a pretty consistent theory of evolution of living matter as a seamless continuation of inorganic matter evolution.

But the absence of direct evidence of evolution is a apparently striking. Currently the biosphere appears like miraculously frozen in its evolution, only species extinction occurs. Evolution of terrestrial life could be interrupted in every moment by introducing of panspermia from previous generations of stars or even whole Universe, which may be interpreted as an act of creation. So far we have no DNA of ancient organisms, proving the continuity of genealogical trees deduced from DNA. Briefly speaking, we have many strong evidences both for evolution, both for various non-gradualistic models - but no convincing proof yet. And this is a bare fact.

Briefly speaking, evolutionary theory still remains just a theory by it's very definition. Scientific theory is a model of reality, the true value of which can be never verified completely - well, by the same way, like God concept. It seems, God remains a very first scientific theory by the very definition of scientific theory. No wonder, the concept of infinitely dense and omnipresent Aether appears like physical model of God and it remains opposed by mainstream science by the same way, like God concept itself.
