If evolution is ever to be disproven, which is unlikely since we can actually see it happening in bacteria for example doesn't automatically give creationism credibility. Rest assured the scientific community would replace it with a much better idea.
And lastly I suggest you look up what a scientific theory actually is.
It is not a hyphothesis as you seem to make it out to be.
I find it funny that evolution seems to be the only theory which some people are expecting to change soon. I have never seen anyone suggest that the theory of gravity or relativity will change soon
And what missing links in evolution are you talking about? Just because there aren't fossils of every single stage of evolution doesn't mean there aren't countless fossils in museums globally that offer conclusive evidence.

You're strictly referring to Young Earth creationism which is just a minority view among the Christian circle. I've already stated in my first post in this thread that there are other types of creationism that exist as well with "theistic evolution," which accepts the actual scientific age of the earth and evolutionary development of humans from primates, being the commonly held view by most Christian churches and denominations, especially the major ones.

Theistic evolution typically postulates a point at which a population of hominids who had (or may have) evolved by a process of natural evolution acquired souls and thus (with their descendants) became fully human in theological terms. This group might be restricted to Adam and Eve, or indeed to Mitochondrial Eve, although versions of the theory allow for larger populations.
