No. Evolution is a valid "scientific theory", Xenu is not. A scientific theory requires the hypothesis of a theory that fits an observable phenomenon which can be used to make testable predictions where the empirical observation of the results of those tests can be used to further refine the theory. Xenu is not a theory which is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation. Like all other alleged Gods or deities, Xenu is not a valid scientific hypothesis.
