Not many (if any) scientific 'facts' exist to support the 'Theory of Evolution'.

False. Here are two definitions, followed by lots of facts. You may not like them, but the entire photograph consists of facts. And that is just the most photogenic of the lot--there are tens of thousand more where those came from.

Data: factual information, especially information organized for analysis or used to reason or make decisions

Fact: when an observation is confirmed repeatedly and by many independent and competent observers, it can become a fact

Your judgement of what is and is not a scientific fact appears to be clouded by religious belief and dogma; here are definitions of those terms as well:

Belief: any cognitive content (perception) held as true; religious faith

Dogma: a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof

Amazing! You say MY judgement appears to be clouded... What did I write that led you to that conclusion? I suggest you were responding to your own imagination.

On another note, what are you attempting to illustrate with the pictures of various skulls? How accurate shall we say the dates are? What portion of 'evolution' do you say they support? Many people may agree on 'facts'. Their agreement does NOT, in and of itself, constitute truth. So now where shall we go?
