Evolution cannot be a fact. Just as the theory of gravitation cannot be a fact. They are scientific theories. While they are generally accepted as facts, I don't believe they constitute the facts that you are thinking of. To be honest, I find your assertion that thousands of scientists do not believe in evolution to be dubious, at best. If you would provide a source for this claim, I would gladly change my position on this.
As far as what Denton and Bounoure, those particular quotes are decades old now. I'm not too sure I regard their expertise as I've never heard of them.
As for Schawlow, I think it is rather deleterious of you to be quoting a scientist who is well out of his realm. A physicist knows about as much about biology as an undergrad who is studying that field.
