1.) Darwin's theory of evolution IS real science. Every respectable scientist accepts it as a plausible theory. There are no scientific theories that are proven as facts insofar as there's some divine voice saying "this is true." It's all based on what holds up to the scrutiny. If it's pretty solid in the face of experimentation, then it's pretty safe to trust it as truth. This goes for things that are obviously "true" as well, such as gravity, conservation of energy and mass, etc. Unlike religion, science does not say that theories and laws on earth exactly as we are now, but there's no evidence to support that. On the other hand, you can draw a conclusion based on mountains and mountains of corroborating documents and stop being a superstitious foare immovable mandates that must never be questioned. You can trust what you want. Go ahead and believe that humans somehow ended up ol.
2.) Good and Evil are subjective terms. The universe is indifferent, so yeah, a baby bleeding in the snow doesn't amount to much in the whole scheme of things. Does that mean I think it's ok to kill babies? Certainly not. You can acknowledge that life essentially has no meaning (beyond untestable speculation) and that "Good" and "Evil" are within the eye of the beholder, while still feeling compassion for the defenseless, and disgust at acts of violence. It really bugs me when people think that atheists are morally bankrupt or they think that any conduct is acceptable. People develop their values and morality based on cultural and societal standards as well as personal experience. From the perspective of the universe as a whole, there is nothing to say that killing a baby is evil, but from a personal perspective, I would consider that a deplorable act.
3.) That's great. You had no retort so you resorted to a childish insult and attempted to trivialize something you don't understand.
Like it or not, you came from a monkey*, bitch.
* "monkey" in this context means an early bipedal primate probably related to the modern chimpanzee.
