I think the real difference between our positions is that I realize we don't know everything there is to know, and you are trying to claim that we do with 100% certainty.

I'm curious to know what you think is missing from the theory of evolution. It seems pretty complete and well understood to me, from the latest universal common ancestor (LUCA) down to the entire picture of life on the planet today.
What we don't know is the process behind how the first DNA-based life-forms came into being (and there are a number of competing hypothesis, the most likely of which involve different self-replicating nucleic acids). But the questionmarks around this initial creation of life shouldn't be carried over to the theory of evolution, because evolution was never intended as an answer to how life first came into being.
