The earth was created 6000 years ago. Explanations should use that as an assumption and go from thereAnd one more thing too. It's more than just "the most" rational explanation. It is "a" rational explanation. More than just being on a spectrum where perhaps all scientific theories are innacurate, the theory of evolution does an incredibly good job of explaining why those matching cladistic/phylogenetic patterns exist. And indeed, there really isn't any other logical alternative beyond common descent at large.
It's like with the theory of plate tectonics. We might see magma coming up from the mantle out of volcanoes and conclude based on evidence that The most rational explanation for this is that the mantle is made of magma. It's not merely "the most" rational explanation for what we see, it is "a" rational explanation for what we see. And despite the theory of plate tectonics not being "proven" per se, for practical purposes, observations indicate that it is true, ie that there is molten rock beneath us and that this is where lava comes from when volcanoes erupt.
