Those that dispute evolution do not necessarily believe that all evidence supporting it is simply herrecy (I do hope I am spelling that correctly: don't get much opportunity to use it). I personally think that there is cause to believe in micro-evolution, that natural selection does occur, but I think that people who blindly believe that we have all evolved from bacteria looong ago are just as bad as the people who believe that the world is only 6000 years old: there are bound to be people on both sides, and I think that both theories are patently rediculous, but at least our side has a reason to think that, which goes back to my part of the Bible being geared towards people from a long time ago: for them, since there wasn't as much time in their life, a day meant a lot to them, and the story of the 7 days of Creation held a special part to them (Sunday, the Sabbath, was when the people rested, and when God "rested."). Once again, everything is open to interpretation, and the people who ask for proof about evolution are not asking about the stuff like if an alligator sees a chicken, but more so about what happened at the very beginning. Unless you had a time machine and either looked for the Big Bang and the evolution of the bacteria, or God's hand creating the universe, I think all that anyone can have on the subject of billions of years ago (or however long it was) is faith that the people who are telling us the answers are right.
