Like for instance the crushing evidence for the fact that evolution has occurred that we see in the fossil record and modern DNA.

If that is the case why is our country in such an uproar? It isn't only Bible believers that disagree with you.

Fossils are a bunch of dead things without dates stamped on them. Most often we find them pooled together, either in coal beds, oil reserves or fossilized bone graveyards.

It is interesting that you highlight our country, as only our country is in an uproar about this (and the uproar is almost entirely outside science). And your second sentence is disengenuous at best; literal bible believers make up the overwhelming majority of evolution rejectors. AFAICS >99% of opposition to evolution in the developed world comes from fundamentalist christians.

Fossils are a bunch of dead things without dates stamped on them. Most often we find them pooled together, either in coal beds, oil reserves or fossilized bone graveyards.

Fossils are a bunch of dead things that do have dates stamped on them for those who can read the dates (though even before radiometric dating was discovered paleontologists and geologists considered that an old earth and evolution was crushingly supported by the evidence, radiometric dating is just the icing on the cake). The oldest are simpler than the most modern. The same forms are at the same depth and age. We don't find modern forms in deep strata. Biogeographical distribution accords with mainstream plate-tectonics, etc, etc, etc. Flood geology has no explanation for any of this; just lying nonsense designed to appeal to the ignorant, like the idiocies on your profile page.

Anyway, congratulations on analogising the head-in-the-sand position of evolution rejectors so well with your stolen security truck analogy.
