Theory of evolution isbased on data, not opinion.

Chimps are not ancestral to humans.
Theory of Evolution is formed by a view or judgement of data. Which is another way of saying it's an opinion, FYI.
So it is just your opinion that the sun would be to hot to walk on. Or not; why not try it.

Why not, all opinions are of equal merit.

Opinion-
a belief, judgment, or way of thinking about something : what someone thinks about a particular thing
A certain scientist takes the evidence available, and forms an opinion about what the evidence shows. His opinion is that evolution best explains the evidence.

Of course not. But which ones are of more value is a subjective opinion.

How did they find out? Surely not thro' the dread and subjective expedient of
examining data and forming no (gasp) opinions.

In any case, they didnt find that out.

Audie,

If you're not going to write in plain English, I can't understand what you're saying. I don't do well with cryptic language. Straightforward, simple English works best with my simple brain.

But the Earth does not revolve around the Sun. At least, not exactly. Time to get pedantic. "Technically, what is going on is that the Earth, Sun and all the planets are orbiting around the center of mass of the solar system," writes Cathy Jordan, a Cornell University Ask an Astronomer contributor.Aug 5, 2014
