Evolution theory covers a lot of territory. Natural selection, for example, is observable. Hardly anybody doubts that it happens but people differ on whether it operates across species or just within species. There's good evidence for genetic drift and random mutations. Things get more speculative in regard to the most interesting aspect of evolution, namely the origin of life.
Living cells come from other living cells. But logically there had to be a first living cell. What did it evolve from? Evolutionists say it evolved from self-replicating molecules. Maybe they're right but it has to be admitted that nobody has ever observed this. Nobody has ever seen a living cell that didn't come from another living cell. Nobody's ever replicated the process in a lab or proven that it can happen. In that sense evolution is speculative.

One of the most fascinating theories of all times. It is the most important theory among a few theories in the field of biology. It has been source of motivation in many other sciences including sociology and computer science. Its importance for for Biology is like importance of our fundamental theories about time and space in Physics or set theory in Mathematics.
I know that a great effort both form Physicists and Biologists is being made in the field of computational and evolutionary biology to merge these two fields and the theory of evolution is the center of this fusion. (for reference click on the link provided)
Most of all it has had deep social impacts on modern human life due to its conflicts with religious assertions about life and its origin.

my opinion would be that it has little to nothing to do with physics, except for the mutagenic effect of high-speed particles.

i think its garbage. . there would be some kind of mixture of modern day man. . and a wild animal. . how did every single animal instantly become human at the same time, they wouldn't all evolved at the same time or rate

So far, it's the only one that fits all of the observable facts.
