There is another way that Evolution is a fact.
If one starts with Ontological Naturalism which
basically states that Nature is all there is, has ever
been and will ever be, and there is nothing outside of
nature that can influence it in any way then:
1. Because there was at one time no life forms and now
there are, then Abiogenesis MUST be a fact.
2. Because there was at one time no life forms and now
there are many kinds or species then Evolution MUST be
a fact.
What is not known is just how Abiogenesis happened and
precisly how Evolution worked to result in the origin
of species. There are theories of evolution derived to
try to explain the absolute FACTS of Abiogenesis and
Evolution.
Obviously, YECs do not start with Ontological
Naturalism and so for them, Abiogenesis and Evolution
are not required facts, and theories of evolution are
exercises in futility.
