All created by the mind of man.

I'll grant you that the study of evolution is created by the mind of man (at least on this planet). But the fact of evolution, as Watson describes it, is most definitely not created by the mind of man (unless you wish to defend some form of subjective idealism or even solipsism).

Who do you give credit for the "fact" of evolution??? Who established the boundaries and the parameters of what is called evolution???

Evolution is The Theory Of Evolution There are no "laws" just theories. Theories that haven't ever been proven, if they were, then they'd be laws, and there would be no debate of the matter. Also these same theories, with all our knowledge and technology, have never been duplicated.
