Well actually it was part of a bigger point but there are facts derived from of science that are confirmable daily such as the acceleration due to gravity and the distance to the moon etc.

Until science entered the picture, the "acceleration" of gravity seemed to affect heavy objects differently from light ones. Again, uneducated opinions are of no use in science. If you don't do the homework your opinion is worthless.

I know of several regular freeper posters who are adamant evolution critics. At least one of them pops up occasionally to declare the rest of the evo tribe to be ignoramuses. But they don't deny common descent. No one capable of accurately describing the evidence denies common descent, even if they don't accept the Darwinian explanation.

If you make the assumption that our existence is not the result of some event beyond the comprehension of homo sapiens or beyond our current understanding of the environment around us, then some level of common descent makes sense. But the evidence of universal common descent, the idea we all came from a single life form, a singularity like the big-bang, is incomplete at best.
