Is it more evident than ever or has it been debunked. Getting different information from everywhere. What's a good reliable source to keep up with modern scientific discoveries?

Evolutionary theory is about as likely to be "debunked" as the shape of the Earth is to be determined to be flat, after all. You can't get much more supported than evolution, as an explanation for what we see around us. As for your problem with getting conflicting information, that's a fact of life - part of growing up is learning what sources you can trust and which ones you can't. I wouldn't, for instance, trust a confirmed Marxist to explain to me the benefits of Capitalism as a political and economic system. He would probably leave stuff out and twist what he left in to make Capitalism look bad and Marxism look good. Equally, I wouldn't trust an Evangelical Old-Testamentarian/Creationist to give me accurate and honest information about science in general and evolution in particular. His goal is to confuse and "re-educate" you into his particular ideology, not to inform you.

The theory of evolution is probably the most solid theory there is... It hasn't been debunked at all.
There's not really such thing as a debunked theory, unless they're misappropriately given the status as theory, they are usually updated to reflect new information. There are certainly hypotheses that are refered to as 'the theory of X', and have been debunked, but many of them came before the scientific method (e.g. from natural philosophers, not modern scientists) or just use the wrong nomenclature.
If anyone does know of any modern scientific theories that have been well and truly debunked drop me a line.

It is one of modern science's best-supported and best-accepted scientific theories. Given that, it seems likely that you have no idea what evolution is and what it isn't. If you want to stay current, read these weekly:

It is generally more evident than ever, with a recent front-cover article in National Geographic saying as much. Besides N.G., Scientific American (sciam.com) might help you keep up-to-date. Your local library may have many periodicals, and newspapers.

I think you are behind the times or trolling. If you would use good and reliable sources like Science magazine, or Nature you would know that the theory of evolution has more support than ever.
