That's why evolution has so much propaganda devoted to it, and words like may, could be, if, might be and ect.

Ok. First off, I'm gonna go ahead and presume that you're one of those people who conflates "Evolution" with "The Theory of Evolution."

Evolution is the process by which living organisms change over generations, and it is a scientific fact. There is no may, might, or maybe about evolution. That shit happens, and we have evidence that it happens. We have more evidence to support evolution than we do to support gravity, and we actually understand evolution a lot better than we understand gravity, incidentally.

The Theory of Evolution is the body of scientific knowledge laid out in efforts to explain how and why evolution happens and what course it may have taken throughout natural history, and this is the area where you're likely to run into imprecise language, reason being that science generally deals in degrees of certainty rather than absolute certainty, allowing the fact that new evidence could always adjust and even negate current knowledge on a subject. Religion, on the other hand, decides in advance what's true and seeks to bend/ignore evidence to support the presupposition. This is why science delivers while religion prays and quivers.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
