I dont have any doubt that evolution is the way, BUT despite overwhelming evidence, you have to accpet that it is still circumstantial, in a way.

I get annoyed when they show a paleontologist saying "This dinosaur was active at night". Sure the evidence suggests that it was, but who knows, animals and the world were VERY different 65 million years ago...
