The evidence is extensive and consistent, and it points unambiguously to evolution, including common descent, change over time, and adaptation influenced by natural selection. It would be preposterous to refer to these as anything other than facts.

ME: especially when you apriori, rule out any other possibility...

I'm sorry that you completely missed the point. The point is that the evidence overwhelmingly matches one and only one theory, and that continues to be the case whether or not anyone has allegedly "ruled out any other possibility" in their own mind. Your unsupported charges of bias aside, the vast mountains of evidence itself rules out the other possibilities, while massively and repeatedly validating one, through multiply independent cross-confirming lines of investigation.
