No, it's not. Evolution deals only with changes of life, it has nothing to do with how life started.

Macro- vs Micro-evolution is something the creationists came up with. There's no such distinction in science, because a lot of small changes aggregate to large changes.


As for evidence for evolution, scientists continue to find links that fit with what they would expect. The idea that god planted them to confuse us is entirely unscientific. Then there's the study of DNA with which fossils can be dated and again, they fit exactly into the model predicted by evolution.

Aside from that, there's also no competing scientific model. Intelligent design is religion (assumes an intelligent creator, something that can't be proved or disproved), not science.
