"Sure there are difficulties with evolution -- but it is over the methods of evolution, not over the existence of the phenomenon."

There is no concrete evidence that Human Beings are descended from anything other than Humans.
Macro-evolution is NOT a fact, it is a supposition, but it is presented as a foregone conclusion.
Are there problems with Creation Theory? You bet.
Much of what we believe is based striclty on faith - much like those who believe we are descended from simpler life forms.

Every criminal case in this country is tried on the basis of "beyond reasonable doubt". Jury members are not witnesses to the crimes they try, but they nevertheless send people to prison, even death based on evidence -- much of it scientific in origin.

There is a point in any investigation when reasonable people will say that facts are established beyond a reasonable doubt. that point has long been passed with regard to evolution.

Sure there is. We have shadings from Homo Erectus to Archaic Homo Sapiens to Homo Sapiens. IOW, we've got a pretty complete picture from 1.6 million years ago till now. The trouble falls in determining the placement of the myriad hominid species prior to 1.6 million years ago. There were evidently numerous competing lines of hominids until the rise of Homo Erectus, whereupon the others shuffled off this mortal coil. The two competing species of recent hominids, Homo Neanderthalensis and Homo Sapiens, both descended from Homo Erectus.
