99.44% of the world cannot - they accept the word of experts.  And we 
can check the theory of evolution here and now - it has been done 
repeatedly.

Sure we can. That's what fossils are for. Same way we check things like 
binary stars obeying GR and black holes obeying GR.

Nor can we perform GR experiments that require a few millions of years, 
like noticing that the expansion of space seems to be accelerating, or 
that light traveling long distances thru space doesn't travel at 'c' for 
all the different frequencies.
