The Holocaust and the world being round are 2 things that can be verified as fact. You can fly around the world. You could interview people who were involved in some way in the Holocaust.

On the other hand you have the Theory of Evolution. Which is a scientific theory that states that as best as we understand things right now, this what happened during the last x millions of years. As scientists though, we realize our knowledge is not perfect, and there could be something out there just waiting to be discovered that could drastically change the way we view the world.

To claim that human beings have the same level of understanding about something that can be independently verified as fact, such as the world being round to be on the same level of human understanding as evolution is a total incorrect statement.
