For example the earth is spherical is a fact, so if evolution was a fact then it will be an established scientific fact and everybody would agree.I could point you to some scientists who claim the Earth is flat. Just visit http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/ and ask how many people there believe the Earth is flat and also have science degrees. We do not distinguish what is fact and what is fiction by the number of people who support it. We distinguish what is fact and what is fiction by the evidence that supports it, since evidence is always impartial.
Just so we get a real world example, suppose your mother was charged with murder, and she maintained her innocence. She pleaded with you that she was innocent, she begged you to believe her, and you did, because she was your mother and she has never lied to you before. However in court a video tape is revealed that clearly shows her murdering the victim. Your belief was wrong, the evidence is always correct. Even if the entire courtroom believed your mother was innocent, a single piece of evidence (the tape) could destroy their belief in an instant.

Even Darwin had questions he could not explain or the find the answer to his idea (the intermediate stage or the missing link of the evolution process).Theories always make predictions, and Darwin made his. He predicted transitional fossils, and we found them. Using the theory, we accurately predicted the location (both geographically and in the correct strata) of the fossil Tiktaalik, which is a transitional form between fish and reptile.

As we have told you, look up the definition of a scientific theory, not a "theory" that is simply an idea. Any argument that stars from this misconception is simply wrong.
