Evolution is not mathematically possible, too complex to have evolved by chance, and where did the FIRST living cell come from?
A theory is NOT a fact - no matter how many scientists study it - it is STILL not a fact. (now pounding head against wall)

How have you determined that it is not "mathematically possible"? Do you have a reference to the equations with justification for starting premises?
and where did the FIRST living cell come from?
Evolution does not care where the first living cell originated. All that matters is that a cell exists. Evolution does not depend on any specific method for a cell coming into existence, it only matters that the cell exists. Evolution starts after that cell (or those cells), thus the process by which that cell came to exist isn't relevant to the validity of the theory.

The problem here is an apparent confusion on your part over the meaning of "theory" and "fact". A "fact" is simply a single statement of an observation. "It is raining" is a fact. "The ball fell when dropped" is a fact. Theories are far more complex than "facts". A "theory" is a general explanation for observed phenomenon. It is a complex series of statements that have been evaluated and used to make predictions that have borne out in testing in an attempt to explain an observed event -- essentially, a theory is an attempt to explain facts. Theories will never become facts. Comparing theories to facts is comparing apples and oranges. They are two different kinds of statements (well, one is a statement and another is a group of statements).
I do not understand the purpose for you to pound your head against the wall. I have never claimed that the theory of evolution is a fact. I understand that theories will never become "facts" because theories are far too complex to ever become something as simple as "fact".
