The fact of evolution is the allele frequency of a population changes over time. This is an observable phenomenon. It's a fact. The theory of evolution gives us explanations to how/why the allele frequency of the population changes over time.
Someone brought up economics a couple posts before this. It's a very interesting analogy. Do you doubt that the economy exists? It's an observable fact the economy exists. Then we have the theory of economics.
Same thing with disease. Do you doubt diseases exist? It is an observable fact that diseases exist! Then we have the germ theory of disease.

You may see transitional salamanders and variety -you may even see what could be termed new species -but let's face it, they are all still clearly salamanders. How do we know that, given enough time, they will be anything other than types of salamanders?
I'm curious to what you think about the turtle they recently found that had teeth and only had the bottom shell?

Re: Is it a fact?
Do you or do you not agree that the allele frequency of a population changes over time? If you answer no, then please explain why you don't agree with this very observable fact. If you answer yes, then I don't know why you're still talking about this.

Well my faith that there is a God is far superior to man's inventiveness and better supported by the real experimental science.
So... why are you even here?
