State scientific proof for evolution

In the Nov. 26 letter, “Bible's stories sound more like fairy tales,” Michael Northland asks “what sounds more like a fairy tale, the proven scientific facts that primates evolved into humans and dinosaurs are ancestors of today's birds or the collection of stories written thousands of years ago depicting a senior citizen building an extremely large boat and rounding up two of every animal to join him?”
I challenge him to state even one scientific proof of either primates evolving into humans or dinosaurs evolving into birds.
On the other hand, there is the written historical testimony of the eight eyewitnesses who survived the worldwide flood and each of us are descendants of at least four of them, not some primate. By the way, God rounded up the animals, not Noah. So what sounds more like a fairy tale for adults - the historical fact that God saved representatives of all air-breathing animal kinds and eight humans from the judgment of a global flood or an unproven hypothesis that a frog evolved into a prince?
