Yes! Evolution is a fact, its observable on the fossil record, Genetically, amongst other (alot of)evidence. However "The Theory of Evolution by means of natural selection" formulated by Charles Darwin is a scientific theory, and its the one that best explain the way evolution works, based on the evidence. It has been refined over the years due to new mechanisms discovered (Darwin knew not about genetics), but never falsified, yes, falsified because a true scientific theory must be falsifiable, that is, it is possible to exist evidence that can prove it wrong. An example, you never saw the moronic attempt from kirk cameron to disprove evolution saying that "For Evolution to be true a crocoduck should exist!"? He even showed a composed picture. Well, that would not prove evolution, it would disprove it really. Another example: find the fossil of a modern man with more than 100 million years.
I'd wager that you wont even respond properly to this, well, you just don't wanna listen. You are just here to prove to your imaginary sky-daddy you are a good sheep. Go my son, and bask in your ignorance, 'cause ignorance is bliss and you are up there in the clouds, full of it.
