all theories can be disproved, but however much pro-theory evidence you find that never actually proves that there can be no counter example (cf Karl Popper)
evolution is a good theory and pretty much fits the facts we have, so I'd have to go with it for the moment
argument (2) is interesting, but I don't really know enough to comment fully. However I suspect that DNA changes are far from random in nature.
that evolution being true is not a proof that there is no god - any logician could tell you that. it annoys me when people argue that way
mind you, can you imagine an omnipotent being trying to explain to some fairly ignorant tribe thousands of years ago exactly how he created the universe? metaphor would be the only way for them to make any sense of it at all.
