Evolution is, indeed, the most documented and well supported scientific theory there is. Earlier, I compared scientific theories to pyramids where every building block was a publication, experiment, whatever that supports that theory. It's a good analogy I think because removing one building block won't tear down the whole pyramid and you can keep adding to it making it bigger in the future.
If that analogy was true, then the evolution pyramid would indeed be the biggest of them.
Facts in philosophical discussion on the net quickly get shot down by the argument that you can't know anything for certain except perhaps "I think therefore I am". If that's you formulating that in your mind right now, just think of a fact as something that has never been refuted, is the basis for much of our understanding of the world and has a lot of empirical evidence supporting it rather than something which is undeniably true.
