Its definitely good to be skeptical and to be open to new theories concerning evolution.
I'd actually argue that the theory of relativity and the theory of evolution are comparable. There are actually legitimate
alternatives to the theory of relativity, but that's besides the point. You cannot see gravity, you can only see its effects. Similarly you can see the effects of evolution in the fossil record and in biology. Evolution is also testable, laboratory reproductions of mutations and natty selection support the theory.
I know I'm splitting hairs here a bit but I just wanted to mention that evolution is more than just an interpretation of left over evidence, it is observable and testable just like the theory of relativity.
