I am saying that evolution is a fact. That being, the descent with modification of different lineages from common ancestors. This includes one species evolving into another.

The theory of evolution can easily be proved to be false. One simply must make a prediction based on it, and then show that prediction to be false. Every prediction based on the theory of evolution so far has proven to be true. In contrast, creationism isn't falsifiable at all.

It's also important to remember that there's no such thing as a "species" in real life. It's just an artifical label that scientists made up to help them classify organisms. In reality, there is a very gradual range of differences between all organisms. Naturally, most of the common ancestors and transitional forms are now extinct, though.
