by "evolution", it probably doesn't mean the exact theory of darwins evolution, it is the modern theory of evolution. so therefore, there are no real alternatives to the theory of evolution.
theres another guy, who thought of evolution before darwin: jean de la baptiste de lamark.
his story is an incredibly sad story. you guys should look it up.
well, i occasionally read creationist arguments for a bit of comic relief. i'm sorry, but the creationist arguments are the most hilarious things i have ever seen.
