The concept of god and the theory of evolution are not mutually exclusive. Biblical literalism doesn't hold a monopoly over god.

Well I'd say thats only true as long as the bible is involved.
And the second part is somewhat true.

Elaborate.

Well first of all, the bible itself does not hold a monopoly over God, which I must also add is not mutually exclusive with the concept of evolution.
But philosophically speaking the two, God and evolution, could pose a syntax in understanding the deeper common questions that so many find so hard to explain or even understand.

Um...that's precisely what I said.

Please tell me how we got from the very first life form to humans through natural selection.

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."
We've provided numerous explanations, sources and links for you, yet you keep asking the same questions and making the same fallacious claims. That's called willful ignorance and intellectual dishonesty.
try reading a book. And I don't mean the Bible.

Here's a few:
Observed Instances of Speciation
When it comes to hybrid speciation, it's quite common in plants. We have managed to create new species ourselves, and even breed two different genuses (Triticum and Secale, forming Triticale). Plants are easy to observe this in as they more often survive polyploidy

I would agree that Evolution is a fact.
As to the workings of Evolution, as in natural selection, mutations, survival of the fittest. I thought that these are not understood to be facts in a complete sense. Not saying all of it is trash, just that portions of each have gaps that are still being addressed. This is the sense I have gotten since gr12 bio. I didn't go much past that level. Anyone want to send me The Origin of Species? Should probably start reading more on this. Because if its being hardballed as facts then I have a lot of understanding to do.
Also the OP used a quote to misrepresent the intent of the person quoted. The person said Evolution is a fact, not saying Evolution by Natural Selection. Or maybe I misunderstood?

We have understood a lot about how evolution works since Darwin's Origin of Species and Natural Selection stays unpunctured.
