Well actually we only have theories to explain how the earth was formed. Evolution is just a theory, not a fact. And anyway, facts are dangerous. They are just mental shortcuts. Trying to tell people to shut up with their religious views because they are wrong and evolution is right is the same thing as (and possibly worse than) what you are complaining about.
