On a very fundamental level, we agree with evolution because the theory was borne out of the scientific process, a process that has made possible all of the scientific knowledge we have today. Humans have constructed and embraced the scientific process as a rigorous, critical, objective manner in which to gain all scientific knowledge. To deny evolutionary theory, you must also deny medicine, electricity, thermodynamics, and all other products of the scientific process. We have no choice but to accept evolutionary theory until an alternate hypothesis with equal support, explanatory power, and predictive capability comes along.
