Ok, emm.. Mike33... there are two fundamental problems here which lead to you never beleiving in this ;)

1) You do not seem to understand what science is, or at least not how "facts" in science are proven.
2) You do not seem to understand what evolution is.

I might base this on too little of the thread read, but oh well...

About 1)
A scientific "fact" basically is anything that can not be explained differently. For example: A few hundred years ago, the earth was FLAT for most people. Why? Because it honestly LOOKS flat if you just look outside. Until it was proven that it just looks flat because it is so immensly big, it was a scientific fact that it is flat.
That might be a bad example, but thats how it is. You can use any other "fact" with this and it is the same.

Thus, because there is no other feasable explanation of why we are here, or how it all evolved from single-cell organisms, evolution is a PROVEN FACT.

About 2)
Evolution is the process of organisms changing over long periods of time due to mutations and natural selection.
You do agree that mutations happen, you do agree that natural selections happen, but you do not accept Evolution. Just because your mind can not grasp what mutations and natural selections on a LARGE SCALE over a LONG PERIOD OF TIME (we are not talking _millions_ of years here btw, we are talking _billions_) can produce.

Our organisms, be it a single cell organism, a human being, or a blue wale, all have DNA. Mutate it, and the organism changes. It takes a LOOOOOONG time, and we might not know why exactly it DID happen or how, but obviously it did, or we would not be here now.
Or do you think we just popped up here out of nowhere one day?
