The support for evolution is hard science and real and proved.
The great Apes have the same blood types as humans. Their genetic sequence is almost 99% the same as ours in relationship to genes. We did not descend from the great apes. They and humans had a common ancestor in the past. Even plants and humans share some of the same genes.
Evolution is real.
I think what every one is missing is who created all this so it could happen. It defies all logic that we had a big bang and all the elements of the universe were created from nothing. The belief in a Deity that created and guided or allowed it to take its natural course is just as logical as those that say this universe came into being from naught.
Yes, evolution is real, and so it the Deity. When the physicist can show us how this universe came into existence without the hand of god, I will drop the Deity portion of my statement.

The support for evolution is hard science and real and proved. It is abundantly clear that natural selection is responsible for a substantial portion of the diversity of life on this planet. That in no way, however, implies that it is responsible for all of it. There were almost certainly other factors at work that we don't know about and may never understand. Whether those factors include divine intervention, or an extraterrestrial "ark", or something else entirely, is pure speculation.

The above is all question-begging. Please learn the difference between this and hard science.

"Their genetic sequence is almost 99% the same as ours in relationship to genes."
It depends on what you classify as "genes". The actual sequence similarity is closer to 90% if you count introns, exons, and regulatory regions.
"Even plants and humans share some of the same genes."
And this shows what? Every program I've ever code has a while loop. Every web page starts with <html>. However, I don't believe in the Universal Common Ancestry of either web pages or computer programs.
