Consider a chimp in a contained environment. the chimp is isolated from any direct exposure to his keepers. He never sees the keepers or interacts with him.
Now, everyday, the chimp gets a bowl full of food. usually placed in his environment while he is sleeping, or perhaps when he's at the far end of his cage. He never sees how the food gets there, he just knows the the food gets there everyday.
A good scientific conclusion for the chimp to make is that his environment somehow "naturaly" produces this food. He has no obserbable data to convince him otherwise. Perhaps he takes note of the grass and sees that his environment can in fact "grow" things. ITs reasonable to assume that if the leaves on his trees, or the grass blades in his environment can grow, then so can his food. He also sees that more food only comes when he has eaten his previous food and is away from his "feeding place". Perhaps he can conclude that only so much of the food can exist within his environment at a given time. In fact, the Chimp could draw all kinds of conclusions. These would be good, sound scientific conclusions based on the observable evidence. That however doesn't make those conclusions "true".
Of course the anology isn't perfect. But just because there is good scientific evidence for something, does NOT in fact make that something true.
Having said all of this, I don't think there is very strong observable evidence for PURLEY natural evolution or the origin of life. And NO scientific observable evidence for the Origin of the universe.
But because a force that is not observable, and is outside our universe cannot really be considered in terms of science, most scientists are forced to accept a theory as true that has very little evidence in support of it, because it has the BEST observable evidence available.

Modern archeology would tend to disagree.
berkeley.edu...
160,000 year old human (Homo sapien) skull.
Now, combine that with the fact that the Bible gives a genealogy from Adam to Jesus which (if they were all supermen, being extremely generous) could in no way be more than 8,000 years time (I don't wish to do the math but of course the general consensus is roughly 4,000).
So,
Bible: First human, Adam, created less than 10,000 years ago
Modern Archeology: Humans existed at least 160,000 years ago.
Hmm... methinks the numbers don't quiet match up .
And that's just Homo Sapien...
Here, have some Homo antecessor, dated 1.1 - 1.2 millions years old:

All depends if you agree with the way they arrive at their dates. Datings like this not only rely on Radiometric or other methods but also on the Stratigraphic Principles or Chronostratigraphy, they use one to help date the other and vice versa. Not a very good method IMO. It depends on one being right to make the other accurate.

When did science really prove that one kind turned into an other.
What evidence does science have that a DNA from one Kind changed and became another Kind.
They can't. They can only take a DNA structure from one kind and match it with another. And make a theory of it.
