What "gargantuan" evidence? Evolution is and always has been a theory.
"Oh, I don't know, the tens of thousands of fossils with clear transitions from species to species in universities and colleges all over the world?"
Really? One species to another? How fascinating, if it were true in the true sense. No species has ever morphed into a completely different order. Man didn't evolve from apes. If that were true, all apes would be something else by now.
"And I suggest you look up the definition of "theory" and "hypothesis" as used in science."
I don't have to look it up. I have been using the english language for years. True to form, a "hypothesis" is merely and unproved theory. Maybe those terms used in science need to be more honest.
"The general public commonly thinks of theories the way scientists think of hypotheses."
This gives me hope for the common public.

You show a stunning lack of knowledge about evolution, it is no wonder you discount it in favor of the mythologies of primitive savages.
Hey, any luck finding the wax-wings of Icarus, or Odin's eye?
