Arrogant? Perhaps. Probably. yes. I am arrogant. And with absolutely no right to be, so I apologize and ask that you please forgive me my hubris.
A few bridges must be burnt to answer your question and I am not certain that this is the appropriate thread for that. But I will try and see what comes of it.
Evolution's evidences are as grounded in reality as are the evidences for Santa Claus. Testamony, costumes, toys and tradition. But beyond that, it beomes more difficult, and the game and story becomes grander and a bit more stretched.
Certainly, there are bones. Certainly, there are rocks and fossils and dates. But the here the game gets a bit tricky. The age of the fossils, you see, are based upon the age of the rocks in which they are found. Solid enough dating, that.
But the date of the rocks are based upon the ages in which the fossils have been known to be found. Now we have a circular system.
I could go on, but I will not. Evolution is a religion and nothing more than that. It is entirely faith-based with a few colored rocks and gems and bones and trinkets to appeal to those whom it would. But it has no true evidences any more than Santa or the Tooth Fairy or The Easter Bunny did, other wise it would not have so many holes and need so many updates and improvements in it's theories and postulations.
The sad part in all of this, is that thius particular myth is getting more propagandist hard-sell than Santa ever did. And when someone moves that magic rock one day and the whole huose of cards comes tumbling down and the truth of it is revealled, there are going to be some very, very upset children wanting to know why their teachers and scientists lied to them.
I would not want to be in their shoes when that day comes. I know that.
