You have no idea how we'll respond to your facts, since you have not offered any. You have told us that you believe, whether you have facts or not. I bet that in any other area of your life, you don't consider that a smart way to go through life. But in the most important one, you throw away common sense and facts and replace it with belief.
"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."
