The most common misunderstanding about evolution is that it is 'scientific'. It is not, it is a philosophical belief.
Evolution is based on the philosophy of naturalism (unprovable) and multiple logical fallacies are invoked as needed including: begging the question, affirming the consequent, composition, cherry-picking, argument from ignorance, equivocation, etc, etc.
Richard Lewontin (born March 29, 1929), an American evolutionary biologist, geneticist and academic admitted:
"It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."

Of course, even relativity doesn't say what people think it does:
“The relation of the two pictures [geocentrism and geokineticism] is reduced to a mere coordinate transformation and it is the main tenet of the Einstein theory that any two ways of looking at the world which are related to each other by a coordinate transformation are entirely equivalent from a physical point of view.... Today we cannot say that the Copernican theory is ‘right’ and the Ptolemaic theory ‘wrong’ in any meaningful physical sense.”
