But every new piece of evidence bolsters the Theory.

My observation is that every piece of evidence is shoe-horned into the theory to make it fit. In other words, "Evolution is a fact. Every new piece of evidence must, somehow, confirm the theory. So, every new piece of evidence will be interpreted in such a way that it will bolster the theory." The theory provides an intepretation of the evidence; the evidence doesn't actually reinterpret the theory. And the fact that one cannot go back eons to check the intepretation is a convenient shortcoming of the theory. That appears how it actually works.

You can believe that all you want, but it doesnt make it so. Show me one piece of evidence that was shoehorned into the theory.

If you believe in the Judaeo Christian explanation I can show you dozens of cases of shoehorning facts. The facts do not support Adam and Eve, Noah, Samson and all of the Bronze Age Hebrew myths. I apologize if you are a follower of Odin, SHiva or any of the other gods.
