For accepting evolution? Hmm...
There's a very real sense in which it never occured to me not to. My parents both hold Zoology PhDs, so I "accepted" evolution since I was old enough to understand what the words meant. I certainly accepted it when about 6 or 7.
As time as gone on, of course, I've found out more about it and learnt about the evidence that supports it. And none of that has ever given me a reason to reject it.

Re: evidence and assertions
You know bananas aren't natural, right? They're selectively chosen by us. Wild bananas just aren't like the things you find in the shops.
Just like pretty much everything else we eat.
