There is plenty of fact behind evolution. Not only is there fossil evidence, but we've seen it happening in recorded history.

Let's go over some evidence. First of all, there has to be a reason why fossils change over time. Second of all, the DNA of animals of different species can be very similar. Third of all, a lot of related species tend to share similar structures when they are young. Lastly, there are lots of homologous (similar) structures between related animals.

As for evolution happening in recorded history, let's take the example of humans (yes, all of us). Initially (and this is part of recorded history), humans were mostly lactose intolerant. However, as cows and dairy products started to enter our stomachs, our species had to learn to cope with the new food source. Therefore, the people with lactose tolerance were able to survive (more often than lactose intolerant people), and pass on their genes to the next generations. Now, most of the people on this earth are tolerant of lactose.

And now, I will make sense of the process of evolution. Everyone has genes (you are probably very familiar with this). In a species, the creatures with the genes more suited to living in their environment tend to survive, and thus pass their genes on to the next generation. Over one generation, these changes in genes do not make much of a difference, but as time go on, more creatures will start to have the better genes, and less will start to have the worse genes.

However, say the environment changes, and the creatures have to adapt. Only some creatures have the genes that give them features necessary to survive. Therefore, these genes become more rampant, and the species as a whole soon gains a new trait. So over thousands or millions of years, a species can gain more and more traits, making them completely different.

And another thing. Evolutionary data is often using the creation of medicines, and medicine works in curing people (in the sense that it has progressed a lot from what it was before).

And also, there is literally no evidence for god creating the earth and all the living things on it. I would like to see the evidence you have for the possibility of this phenomenon, for then I could maybe understand another viewpoint. Your on the other wiki, right? The KotLC wiki? If you are, go to the Christian Keeper Fans page, we can talk about it there, if you want to. I don't have time to read this whole thing sorry (: -
