"Instead, over the last 150 years, everything we discovered in biology is compatible with evolution and much of it profoundly supports evolutionary theory, to the point that “it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent” (to quote Stephen J. Gould). There is no other theory that makes the same predictions, or that can tie everything we have discovered about biology into one cohesive theory.The result of 150 years of biological science is that evolution (natural selection and particularly common descent) is a proven scientific fact, beyond all reasonable doubt. It didn’t have to be that way, but it is."

Incredible that anyone past the second grade would ever need to be reminded of these incontrovertible facts. But homo sapiens is clearly mixed with homo el stupido... :-)
