I agree that the assumptions are based on some evidence that we've been able to observe such as cell mutations and natural selection (at least salient natural selection). I'm not using the holes to disprove it. I'm merely saying that in order for the theory to be put to the test as the "truth" as it's touted to be, it would be in our scientific interest to be able to provide strong evidence in favor of it. The evidence thus far, while showing small occurances of mutations is a far cry from saying we were once single cells the evolved into what we are today. I outlined some steps above and each step has enormous holes. I sincerely hope we fill those holes. I have faith that science may unlock them. Right now, it's a theory, a tenative speculative theory. It's an interesting and fascinating one too.

As for "feeling" it, people 'feel' things all the time and are mistaken. That's not a good litmus test. The world is very much guided by principles and theories we've come to know and control.

Good night buddy!
Well the same could be said about most science. Everything in science is tentative. You seem to have a particular problem with evolution.. or do you really just have a general problem with scientific method.
