I'd have more confidence in the people pushing evolution if they wouldn't make the implied claim that the theory of evolution is somehow as valid or demonstrable as the fact of gravity.

Why not? It is.

My confidence in you guys just dropped another three notches.

Not to the lay person.
Gravity can be intuitively understood (or experienced!)
from everyday life...
Think falling down a flight of stairs, or dropping your pencil.

Evolutionary theory cannot be so easily demonstrated.
Although practicing the breeding part can be quite
entertaining!
