I dont think so, one merely has to look into something and see one slight thing to know it's not truth.
In all honesty, I suspect that you never have looked into evolution
et al. except from creationists sources. This doesnt place you in a good position to understand the science of evolution. Would you don't ask Fidel Castro to explain capitalism to you? Your emotional presentation of science is seriously lacking, as I will demonstrate below.
If you are so sure about how old the world is, does that make YOU right- When in FACT, NOBODY knows how old the world is.
And likewise, nobody knows how old you are. You could be 30-years-2-months-and-4-days-old or 30-years-2-months-4-days-and-15-seconds or similar ages more close to your actual. Although we are incapable of calculating your age to the nanosecond, we are capable of ruling out that you are still an infant. This is the same with the earth. All current research puts the age of the earth at 4.5-4.6 million years ago. Although it is impossible to give an exact date with 100% confidence, it is possible to rule out that the earth is less than 100,000 years old. I recommend that you check out

The evolutional theory, is that, a THEORY! It is not proven fact. Regardless of the LIES YOU come up with on paper!!!
Evolution is both a fact and a theory. The fact of evolution is that the properties of populations and lineages of organisms, or frequencies of such properties, change over time. The theory of evolution explains this observation by identifying mechanisms that are responsible for it. Such mechanisms include mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and isolation. Evolution operates on and is observable in populations.
Your statement relies on confusion to the meaning of theory. In common speech, theory is equivalent to speculation. In science theory represents a body of well-supported principals that explain natural phenomena. This is the strength of the theory of evolution.
