....some might argue that evolutionary science, especially in terms of some of the unproven theoretical underpinnings, is a bit like picking up a wet rock and saying "a hah....this rock is wet. Obviously rocks come from waterfalls". Silly analogy but still, the fact is that evolution is a massive body of science crossing an immense range of disciplines. Some of these disciplines are very empirical and provable. Some of the underpinnings and other areas of the evolutionary model are not empirical or provable and there remain gaps in the evolutionary model, or the evidence for the evolutionary model, that are pretty foundational and important but almost universally ignored by the majority of armchair experts here and elsewhere.
