And what you are doing is reciting a portion of that very misunderstood Creed I was talking about, the part about how science isn't really about proof, which denies that REAL HARD science DOES have proof which OE and ToE do not. How tedious and stupid coyote. You are the one who learns nothing.
Oh for your god's sake, try and learn something and use the brain that nature imbued you with. With the possible exception of pure mathematics NOTHING can ever be proved - I challenge you to try with anything you wish outside of pure mathematics.
Every advance we have made as a species using our science has been with the understanding of 'best fit' theories against the real hard evidence. That has led us to increase longevity from 24 to 83 years (male UK figures) over the past 1000 years, land on the moon (you're not a we-didn’t-land- on-the-moon conspiracist are you?) send probes to asteroids, planetary satellites and even spacecraft out of the solar system all together. It's allowed us to wipe out diseases such as small pox and to lessen other killer diseases. It's allowed us to feed 7 billion and to colonise every niche on the planet and to have mastery over all other species.
Science and the human mind have done all this from the Scientific method that you decry so willingly. The ‘science creed’ you love to decry has shaped every bit of your comfortable life. Religion has done nothing for us as a species - indeed a greater foment of wars would be hard to find. In ancient Greece and Rome we had architecture, roads, spas, philosophy and fledgling science. After Christianity came along Middle-ages Britain (for example) in the 1300's had plague, faeces tossed out of windows, heresy, witches being burnt, scientists persecuted and put to death.....who knows how many great minds were lost in those barbaric superstitious times!!
Back to the topic....here's a challenge for you: You say we can't be sure of the long distant past ....so here's a statement for you:
We know with absolute certainty that the early Earth atmosphere could not possibly have contained more than a trace of oxygen (so no humans or any other oxygen breathing animals could possibly have survived then). How do we know this since we weren’t there? How are we so certain we are right?
Hint: Very basic chemistry.....if you can't figure it out you need to go back to school.
