If someone can speak or write authoritatively on things not known, then they were able to verify these things in some manner. Otherwise they made it up. And if you cannot verify their claims nor verify the manner in which they determined their claims to be true, you have no way of knowing if they are made up or not.
"Wanting it to be true" is not a reliable method of verification for the validity of a claim.
"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."
