Evolution is indeed fact... but in the sense that over time something changes in order to adapt to something new. The theory of evolution you are refering to is the biggest crap theory of the worlds creation there is.

Well the term evolution is a confusing one, as it has many different meanings. Evolution really is a fact, but extrapolating data and assuming that one kind of animal can change into another is something that I am not ready to accept.

Same with me. If we came from gorillas how come only some of us evolved.

*SIGH*

We didn't evolve from gorillas, Gorillas and humans have a common ancestor. This common ancestor isn't alive today, it evolved into many species. for example our common ancestor that was a proto-primate would have evolved into humans, apes, gorillas, monkeys and whatever other primates exist today.

Do you seriously think that one animal can only evolve into another one? Of course not, animals evolve to suit their environment, two of the same animal living in two different environments will evolve into to two distinct species over hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of years.

thank you for clearing this up, this is a common misconception about evolution.
