Evidence is proof of something that has happened.

That evidence must be interpreted, how it is interpreted is where evolutionary philosophy comes into play.

If you look at a fossil found in some location and interpret it as an intermediate of something else, you have invoked a philosophy.

If you look at the stars and say that it is billions of years old you have invoked a philosophy.

The theory of evolution is a philosophy, a religion, it has no testable, repeatable, evidence to it defense. Only dreams and imaginations of those who propagate it.

And if you see a star and notice that it is 100 million light years away, what can one infer about how long it took the light to reach the earth? No ‘interpretation’ is needed to calculate the distance or the speed of light.

If one notices fossils of hominids that are not clearly human but much more human than any other ape, what can one infer about the existence of these almost human creatures? No ‘interpretation’ is needed to clearly see their nearly human features.

“Evidence is proof of something that happened”? Evidence = Proof? Boy you really do use your own language.
