The impression I'm getting is that you're asking the same question in a few different ways. In any case, I wasn't saying that you had to look deeper for our benefit. If you've found reason to doubt and question things, then you've got to follow it wherever it leads. Personally I find it unsatisfying to reach an "it could be this/that" type of conclusion.
"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."
