The Peppered Moth is not a hoax. I'd like to see some good evidence of that assertion. Are Darwin's finches also hoaxes? As for the flood, it supposedly lasted 40 days and nights, but you can't form sedimentary layers hundreds or thousands of feet thick in forty days and nights. That takes millions of years. Are you telling me that all those deposits formed in forty days? That's flat out impossible. If the fossils where caused by the Biblical flood then they would all be in one layer, which they are clearly not. They are found at different depths, with more primitive creatures lower, and therefore earlier in time.

"If there were, evolution would be a fact and have public support, which it isn't and doesn't."

Evolution isn't a fact because it's a theory. There are other theories that haven't been conclusively proven but are probably true, like the Big Bang Theory.

Pay special attention to point #4

Are Darwin's finches also hoaxes?

Insofar as they are presented as proof of evolution. They only illustrate variation.

As for the flood, it supposedly lasted 40 days and nights,

Closer to a year.

That takes millions of years. Are you telling me that all those deposits formed in forty days?

How long do you think these layers took to form?

They formed in a matter of hours.

If the fossils where caused by the Biblical flood then they would all be in one layer, which they are clearly not.

Creationists don't claim this. Your statement assumes the flood layer would be just one layer. See the picture above. That was all laid down by the same flood. Don't forget that rapid burial is necessary for fossilization.

There are other theories that haven't been conclusively proven but are probably true, like the Big Bang Theory.

Isn't it curious that some theories have wider acceptance than others? Don't you wonder why that is? It is not because the supposed scientific set demands its acceptance.
