A better question would be “How do you know?” If the person can back up their answer with evidence, then it should be considered a valid answer. We know evolution happened because of a convergence of evidence from the fields of biology, geology, chemistry, paleontology, biogeography, cosmology, physics, astronomy, archaeology, ancient history, and basically every other –ology. There would have to be many fundamental flaws with all of these fields if creationism was correct.
The police solve crimes all the time without eyewitnesses. They have to rely on physical evidence. Scientists are like detectives, they go where the evidence leads. The evidence points to evolution, not creationism.
