I can put light through a prism and KNOW for a FACT that in white light is all the colors of the rainbow, but how could I ever know that I evolved from sulfur bacteria at the bottom of the ocean 3.5 billion years ago?
Good science asks questions, and the way evolution is presented today in biology books DOES not encourage questioning..
today science folks get as defensive about evolution as religious folks get about the Bible, it is fucking ridiculous..

IT IS NOT TAUGHT AS ABSOLUTE FACT! STOP LYING! With the prism how do you know that actually some other phenomena is happening? Maybe instead of splitting the light it is actually changing the colour of the light and the angle that the light goes through the prism decides this? I'm not actually doubting that the light is split but I am demonstrating your hypocrisy and willful ignorance.
