I think he did give an honest answer to the question that, unfortunately, deceives the ignorant into thinking there is empirical evidence for evolution when in fact his answer denies the fact that there is such evidence nor that there ever can be. What he is doing is essentially answering 'no', but this simple 'no' is wrapped up in the answer as to why we will not ever be able to demonstrate the critical evidence in question.
This is exactly why evolution will always remain a theory. If he could answer the question in a clear affirmative and provide proof, evolution would be on its way to becoming a 'law'.
Since such proofs will always be elusive, evolution will remain in the category of faith. The thing is, the Christian worldview provides answers to the fundamental questions whereas evolution is a 'leap of faith' from the very beginning. It does not honestly deal with the world as it truly is whereas the Bible does. This is one of the fundamental truths that lead to my conversion over 15 years ago.
