Only the scientifically illiterate say things such as this.
Yes there is more evidence supporting evolution than any of the other Scientific Theories. That's an overwhelming amount for sure!
Is there any competing hypothesis that has more evidence than evolution? NOPE
You're welcome.
Many with PhDs claim "overwhelming" evidence for their proofs...Both Doctorates of Science and Religion...Each one hollers, "My evidence is OVERWHELMING", therefore, you're wrong!"...

Meanwhile the PHDs over at the Creation museum that you've been referencing are writing things like this,
"In 1878, half a century after the first Iguanodon find, workers in a Belgian coal mine made an astonishing discovery: thirty-eight complete and nearly complete Iguanodon skeletons!4 The eminent paleontologist Louis Dollo oversaw their preparation and produced nine mounted skeletons for the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, where these beautiful specimens are still on display. Dollo was more fortunate than Mantell. Here were dozens of full skeletons, buried so quickly during Noah’s Flood that the bones had not yet been scavenged or scattered..."

You clearly are one of the many scientifically illiterate folks. You guys are the only ones who makes such cretinous claims.
You clearly don't even know what evidence is or what it takes for something to become a Scientific Theory.
The use of carbon-14 dating is often misunderstood. Carbon-14 is mostly used to date once-living things (organic material). It cannot be used directly to date rocks
No duh. Where did I say rocks anywhere? I suppose you think a fossil is a rock? *snickering*
You need to pay better attention to what I actually post.

You are just repeating what I posted. Now Pay Attention!

Amazing that a person can respond to a person's post, but clearly did not read or understand the persons post,even though it is crystal clear. I worry about some of these posters.
That works well if you are trying to determine how long a body has been dead in order to catch the murderer, not so well if the death is hundreds or thousands of years old.

What is wrong with some of you guys reading skills?
Pay Attention! I was responding to this....do you see the words "He meant age at the time of death"

Then I responded appropriately with these links that again show Euse wrong. He is claim is that...

If evolution is false, it proves that the Giant Space Crabs created all life on earth.
I thought it was tge Flying Spaghetti Monster?
I actually believe in God but don't view God and science (evolution being one small discipline, actually subset of biology) as mutually exclusive of each other.
Actually science is what led me back to God after identifying as an atheist for 30 years. But that's another thread.
For those, on either side, that are dead set that it's God or nothing, or evolution and nothing, I'll just say I disagree with both of those contentions (and I don't define I.D. Theory as science, nor subscribe to its contentions. Actually I find it more philosophically based)

Wrong. Evolution is not one small discipline. In fact the evidence supporting Evolution is so overwhelming that there is no other Scientific Theory with this amount of supporting evidence.
The REASON that there is so much supporting evidence is because Evolution isn't so much a Theory as it is an entire branch of science that is intertwined with other branches. Like chemistry, and paleontology. I don't know too many paleontologists who lie awake at night worrying that paleontology might turn out to be wrong. Even though any given fossil could turn out to be fake or misinterpreted, they are not all fake.
Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology.
