After centuries of searching for truth, no one has come up with proofs that convince even half of the people in the world. Most religions are fragmented into many denominations, some of which are willing to kill one another over their differences. If your proofs cannot get those groups to find common ground, how valid can they possibly be?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
