You could only insist that despite of the fact that evolution both is and has been observed, and can be and has been demonstrated, you refuse to accept it nevertheless.
Everena: One species turning into an entirely different species has never been observed. What they are calling speciation could just as easily be adaption.

Everena: I refuse to accept that this is an unfair, unjust universe, that is true. People with their own free will have chosen to intentionally hurt others knowing it was wrong. History is loaded with horrible behavior of humans. I determined my beliefs by considering that the concept of karma exists in every religion, and by observing my environment.
All around us people are doing kind and wonderful things. All around us people are joyous and celebrating. All around us people are doing horrifying, terrible things. All around us people are suffering and in pain.
Also, the Catholic priests and nuns and monks take a vow of celibacy after claiming to hear a "calling" And they preach against masturbation etc.
And we spay and neuter pets and put animals in cages. Just sayin'- And most importantly, it's the only thing that would make this a fair and just universe.
