Min is not attacking you, but is pointing out something that is painfully obvious to the rest of us. We could go through and list various fossils and other pieces of evidence that you will summarily ignore because you've tipped your hand as a creationist. And frankly, in order to be a creationist, you have to have a worldview where you start of with the assumption that the Bible is right.
We can't really have a meaningful conversation if you're going to refuse to accept evidence because it doesn't mesh with your Bible.
Understanding evolution comes from studying it, and we're not your teachers. When we say evolution is a fact, we're are simply stating that change over time has occurred, the fossil evidence proves it. It's also a theory, and this is where many creationists get confused. A theory in science is not the same as a general theory.
Gravity is "just a theory" but it's also a fact.
If you honestly want to understand evolution, we have provided you with a plethora of sources.
Francis Collins, a noted evangelical Christian and head of the Human Genome Project has stated the DNA evidence alone proves evolution and common ancestry is true. I say this to show you that evolution is not solely believed by atheists and many Christians have no problem with it at all.

Quote:In the sciences, a scientific theory (also called an empirical theory) comprises a collection of concepts, including abstractions of observable phenomena expressed as quantifiable properties, together with rules (called scientific laws) that express relationships between observations of such concepts. A scientific theory is constructed to conform to available empirical data about such observations, and is put forth as a principle or body of principles for explaining a class of phenomena.[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory
