Those others are lying to you.

We do.

Have I been rude at all?
Maybe you just can't see past the chip on your shoulder. You've been demanding short answers to complex questions. Ironically, in a topic about the limits of knowledge, you're expecting a silver bullet answer to every question you ask.
Take your time. Pick a topic and ask questions about it. Then consider the answers and ask follow-up questions. If you come in here and complain after a dozen posts that your questions haven't been answered then yes, that is a little rude.
There are people here who can teach you more about science than you will ever want to know but you have to take the responsibility to learn.

At this stage of my life I feel let down by everyone and everything I thought I trusted.
A lot of us felt like that when we were young. You might get over it or you might turn into a psychopath. You do have some control over your destiny.

I feel I must question everything and trust no one.
It isn't enough to question everything. You have to listen to the answers. Some of the answers will be wrong. That's not an excuse to stop asking.

Sure is alot of conjucture.
In Message 1 you were complaining that, "so many people seem to be so sure of their views and opinions."
Now you're complaining that there's too much conjecture?
Which is it?

Who do I believe RAZD or Percy?
You shouldn't "believe" anybody, not RAZD, not Percy and especially not the creationists who have been lying to you about evolution. If you have no creationist axe to grind, why do you go ballistic every time somebody challenges those lies?
You should check out the resources that you've been offered.
