You mean like the big huge bones that have been dug up all over the world? Um pretty hard to contest those things, since scientists ALL over the world have confirmed they are real and walked the Earth.
Evolution is NOT a matter of opinion.
If a child (any child) asked me is evolution true, I would say that the entire of science states overwhelmingly YES, due to evidence and facts. Some of these facts are DNA which also holds up in court. Presently 'god did it' is NOT an option and is laughed out of here.
Think of 'theories' and 'labels' of science as FACTS.
As stated the fact of evolution is MORE conclusive than knowing gravity exists (of which, gravity, in science is known as a theory)
Science states 'theory' because they are OPEN to new information.
But mere common people state that these things are FACTS, not opinion, but TRUE facts.
Theory as a word has two completely separate meanings. There's the meaning that you are talking about: an educated guess at an answer. Then there is the scientific meaning of the word theory which is the attempt to explain physical phenomena occurring in the world. It's both true to say there is a theory of evolution, and there is a fact of evolution.
The theory is the mechanism by which the fact occurs.
Is it normal to not care about the origin of life?

If you ever checked into the "facts" on dinosaurs you might change your mind.
Evolution is not believable to me.
I have been forced to listen to theories on the origins of everything and it's of no concern or interest to me.
Science only puts names on things that already exist. Big fucking deal.

I rest my case.
Facts on dinosaurs?

Big huge bones? You sure about that?
If a theory were a fact it wouldn't be called a theory.

Ever heard of the theory of gravity?

The theory of gravity is a possible explanation of why the law of gravity works. Where are you going with this?

Evidence?
There's a major difference there.
Theory as a word has two completely separate meanings. There's the meaning that you are talking about: an educated guess at an answer. Then there is the scientific meaning of the word theory which is the attempt to explain physical phenomena occurring in the world. It's both true to say there is a theory of evolution, and there is a fact of evolution.
The theory is the mechanism by which the fact occurs.
