Bottom line for me: After all these many decades of intensive study, the “theory of evolution” remains just a theory (yet it is taught in many places as scientific fact).

The only fact about evolution is its “facts” are 90+% speculation, with little or no demonstrable proof to support them. Facts do not have to be defended by forbidding(or even outlawing) the questioning of the accepted conclusions. When opposing views or evidence is forbidden... that’s not science, it’s anti-science.

I see that you skipped science class in middle school.

You may want to do a teensy bit of reading of what constitutes a theory when in scientific circles.

Evolution is both theory and fact, in this sense:

The often-repeated claim that there is no evidence of new species is falsified by innumerable fossils, careful morphological comparisons and detailed DNA analyses.
Indeed, there's nothing unusual about speciation, since by definition of the term, whenever two populations of the same species no longer interbreed, they have become separate species.
Examples can be found throughout nature, and are even, on a very simple basis repeatable through experiments.
