However, a fact gets to be considered evidence for a theory if it fits that theory and does not fit or is not covered by competing theories. (?) (Ideally, the theory should predict the fact before the fact is known, but that is not essential for the fact to be evidence.) The millions of facts referred to above fit this criterion, so they qualify as evidence for evolution.
I have a theory: it is that GOD created the stuff we see in the 'record'.
