No I did not conduct a formal survey, nor do I know of one.
Then I am afraid that you cannot claim that your speculation has any basis in known fact.
Ask the first what proof of evolution he knows and he will point to dinosaur or monkey skeletons arranged in a suggestive way.
However, as you have already admitted, you have no basis in reality for drawing upon such speculation. It is possible for a student who received high grades in biology to understand the scientific method sufficiently to state that evolution, like all other scientific theories, can only be further supported by evidence and never fully proven.
Ask the second what proof of electromagnetism he knows and he will turn on the radio.
Again, not only is this speculation not grounded in fact, as you have admitted, but this is also meaningless. Aptitude in biology does not translate to aptitude in any other scientific field of study.
The first is a hoax;
What, exactly, are you claiming to be hoax and can you demonstrate that it is indeed a hoax?
the second is experiential proof.
I do not understand what you mean by "experimental proof". Could you be more specific here?

I think, I explained where the hoax lies very clearly. Fossil record is not proof of evolution in the same way in which physical or chemical phenomena are proved. May be there is a better proof, but it is not taught, and the result is that science education suffers as a whole.

How about starting with in-vitro observation of endosymbiosis.
