No scientists says that the universe is all there is. There's a whole multi-verse theory! And they keep finding new stuff like dark matter and dark energy, which they admit they don't have a clue what it is... but they know it's there because they can see it's effects.
And evolution is quite well documented.... not just in fossils but now in the your very DNA. This ain't the 1920's y'know. I suggest you do some scientific catching up. Read a hundred more books.
A hypothesis is an educated guess.
A Theory make predictions that later turn out to be true. Evolution is a champion at this! Darwin knew nothing of genetics but his theory predicts (through observation) some mechanism for passing on tiny traits. And there it is: genetics. And evolution is confirmed by other disciplines, like chemistry and geology and plate tectonics.
Nowadays, reading the very DNA code confirms mutations and shows as steady rate of mutation.... making it possible to determine when species diverged to a high degree of accuracy. All science shows is what can be concluded with the huge mountain of evidence available. No scientist says "this is it, period" but merely follows the current consensus.... which adjusts when new evidence arises.
You're all worried about evidence. What evidence do we have of anything supernatural? None.
Y'know, if you're not a dummy with a big chip on your shoulder, don't act like one.
