> please note I am not challenging the scientific truth of evolution

Evolution isn’t a matter of faith, you’re welcome to challenge it and try to poke holes in it.

While true, the predominance of evidence for evolution has reached the point that anybody attempting to argue against it would have to produce absolutely enormous amounts of self-consistent evidence that explains our observations better than modern theories of evolution. It's sort of like the laws of thermodynamics, or relativity, or quantum physics- if you found convincing evidence that any one of those was not accurate, and came up with a better explanation, it would both completely transform science, and open up new avenues for discovery.

And if you want to do that, you should probably get a deep set of experience; otherwise, it's not much different from a flat earther.
