People say it is true and has tons of facts. I have never been given one. So please, can you give me some evidence?

I have a hard time believing you haven't found any. Must not have looked very hard.

Or they tend to dismiss it as unbiblical.

Or, like Rev, only look at creationist websites and refuse to look at actual science

Of course you haven't been given any evidence when you think that evidence is a fish body running around on human legs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Get your head out of your fucking bible and learn some science.

New strains of the flu virus every year, MRSA infections have evolved immunity to antibiotics that worked a few years ago, many many examples, you just need to look, it isn't hard to use google!

Somehow, I am not bowled over by your admission that you've never been given a fact.
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould
