just wanna here your points.^^

I assume you mean you want to hear our points (by which you mean 'thoughts') on that quote. First of all, the quote itself is credited to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus (c.535 BC - 475 BC) and has been translated in many forms. The most common translation is "Nothing endures but change." Heraclitus was called "The Riddler" by Timon of Phlius and was known for making obscure and contradictory statements.

The statement you are referencing, in my opinion, is naive and childish. Of course everything changes. Saying that 'everything changes' is the only 'constant' is just a silly play on words, not some kind of Great Wisdom.

It really deserves no more attention than that.

It's an annoying knack of humans to point out the painfully obvious.

Some of my favorites:

"It's raining!"

"It's really hot outside!"

"That looks like it hurt"

if everything changes, can it justify that there are no evidence/proofs(because ''everything changes) to be considered.

Or should i state ''it is an exemption''?

This question makes no sense at all.
