No. Unless it's been observed and tested in a controlled environment with consistant results, it's not science. Not fact. Now, we've seen variations of animals within a type (however you want to define it) of animal such as a variety of dogs or a variety of cattle, but no one has ever seen a dog turn into a cow. The evolutionary theory doesn't dictate that cows came from dogs, but you get my principle here without havign to split hairs. Are there mutations, yes. But no one has seen an animal turn into another animal. There are even too many gaps in the fossil records to support it as fact/science. The fossil record is just "arranging stuff" based on paradigm.

Yes, I understand your principles that you fail to understand the fundamentals of evolution. Great job.

"Evolution" covers very broad concepts depending on context. What you fail to understand is that the belief that one type of organism slowly changes into another organism over a period of time is rooted in conclusion based on one's paradigm. Not science, not fact. There is no "smoking gun" so to speak that proves that evolution from the OP's context is fact. So back to the OP, the "do you believe in" in regards to the subject is an appropriate and reasonable forming of the question.
