Your argument thet evoultion is just a theory proves that you know little about modern science.
Once upon a time, scientists assigned the term "law" to explanations that seemed to be complete and foolproof. The "laws" of physics and thermodynamics are good examples. Then along came relativity, quantum mechanics, cryogenics, etc.. These showed that there were things happening outside of the human senses ability to detect that didn't quite fit the old laws. The old laws were still perfectly good for the calculating duration of a fall from 100 meters, a mortar shell trajectory, or how dry ice will react.
But scientists learned a lesson, and they stopped naming things "laws". They decided that the word "theory" was a much better term. They use the word "hypothesis" for what you consider "theory" to mean. After compiling enough evidence to prove the hypothesis to be correct and functional, they refer to it as a theory, as in "theory of evolution". And it is perfectly acceptable to refine the theory in light of any new evidence that may be forthcoming.
Once you understand the correct definition of terms as used in science, you can see how ludicrous the argument is that evolution is just a theory. It is very easy to consider you ignorant of the subject when you argue like that.
Your contention that there should be untold millions of fossil records also highlights your ignorance of plate tectonics, geology, erosion, sea level change, fossil formation, etc..
When you use obviously invalid arguments to bolster your case, is it any wonder that you are so easily dismissed?
Science does not understand how a species' gives birth to another species' with different DNA.
Beneficial genetic mutations have never been found, yet harmful ones are everywhere. Current species can adapt to an enviornment, sure, but that information is already present in their DNA.
Modern science cannot even begin to predict what type of offspring a Walleye fish will have. It can't even predict it will have any different offspring other than more walleye in billions of years.
There should be millions or at least 1 transitional fossil, yet we have none today.
Evolution as a theory is a good theory, for what it's worth, but to call it proven is just a lie. The notion that evolution is scientific proven fact is nothing but a mantra, repeated enough by godless men who want nothing more than to believe they will have nobody to account their lives to.
