Why would you show up to little Ton when little Ton doesn't give a damn about you?
Why not?  If the reason little Ton doesn't care about me is because he can't even determine if I am real, wouldn't it make sense to show him that I am real?  Why would I continue to try and fool little Ton instead of just showing myself to him?  I would value honesty, and hiding myself and expecting people to care about me isn't honest.  Maybe I care a lot about little Ton and realize that if he gets to know me, he will like me a lot.  Maybe if I showed him how much I cared, he would also care.

Or I could just be an inconsiderate prick because I'm so conceited.  Does that really sound less bizarre to you?
"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."
