Is the theory of evolution a fact? This is the wrong question. A theory, in the scientific sense, connects facts (observations) together to make a larger meaning. The right question is: 'how well does a theory explain all the known facts about an area of the universe's functioning.' From cosmology to quantum theory to mankind's works somewhere in the middle we look for theories to explain the 'facts'. To borrow from Archimedes with apologies, give me a good theory and I will move the earth.
Hi Thom, FYI...humans are lots older than 165,000 years.

Oldest known human fossil found in Europe Piece of jawbone unearthed in Spain could be up to 1.3 million years old
Also, it is refreshing to see open-minded discussion of the Ica stones...does raise questions. BTW, I'm no fundimentalist Christian. http://livingdinos.com/2011/07/are-the-ica-stones-fake-skeptics-under-fire/
