'Fraid not. It is the scientific method to which we're beholden, not evolution. Unless you use the scientific method, your work will not be given any serious consideration by scientists. Hopefully one of the voices in your head is whispering, "Use the scientific method, Ray, the scientific method!"

Common sense says that persons who think apes morphed into men and that animals have magical powers to change into a different animal should not laugh at anyone.
What does common sense say about people who have somehow arrived at the strange conclusion that evolution teaches that apes morphed into men and that animals have magical powers to change into a different animal?

I don't see how you're going to get anywhere until you begin saying things that are actually true. In a discussion where clear thinking and evidence are required, your goal seems to be to maintain a state of confusion and emotional pique. In science the strength of a position is governed by its degree of correspondence to the real world and not by the emotional weight behind it.

I completely agree.
The way you're conducting yourself in this discussion indicates that you not only don't agree, you don't even understand what it is you claim to agree with.
The theory of evolution is accepted as valid science because it is knowledge gained through the scientific method. There is neither science nor method in your arguments here, only false statements and emotional appeals. You will not make any scientifically valid progress until you begin saying things that are actually true, and begin conducting your investigations in a way consistent with the scientific method.

We may as well give up. There's no stopping Ray once he's in full kemmer.
