11.	`Fact' of Evolution 
	11.1.	Evolution is claimed to be a fact 
		11.1.1.	 Claim supported by faulty analogies
		11.1.2.	 Other sciences happy with theory 
	11.2.	Evolution is claimed to be both fact and theory 
		11.2.1.	 Fallacy of equivocation
		11.2.2.	 Oxymoron of tentative fact
	11.3.	Despite ignorance of mechanism 
		11.3.1.	 Evolution claimed to be a fact even though mechanism unknown
		11.3.2.	 But if mechanism unknown then may not be evolution
	11.4.	Evolutionists claim that evidence is not needed  
		11.4.1.	 Evidence is not needed for a fact
		11.4.2.	 Self-contradiction in then presenting evidence
	11.5.	But evolution is not a fact  
		11.5.1.	 Facts are what theory of evolution seeks to explain
	11.6.	Common ancestry  
		11.6.1.	 Is not necessarily evolution
		11.6.2.	 Not a falsifiable prediction of evolution
		11.6.3.	 Cannot explain differences
	11.7.	Homology  
		11.7.1.	 Original meaning of homology
		11.7.2.	 But not based on homologous genes
		11.7.3.	 Now not evidence of common ancestry
	11.8.	Vestigial structures 
		11.8.1.	 Nascent structures needed
