Please prove that this is one hundred percent true and not a belief based on observation and human logic/rationale.
Science never claims proofs, merely facts which have been multiply tested and confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent. Do you have a reliable "one hundred percent true" alternative?
Your argument is that there is no life? At all? And we are not life we are just intelligent star dust? That is absurd.
When the scientists that hand down to you your ideologies say, "Life on Earth," or, "the possibility of Life on other planets," or, "Habitable planets," what do they mean? They're talking about dead supernovas that created the existence of an intelligent species?
The elements which comprise life, i.e. carbon; nitrogen and oxygen etc, were synthesized by nuclear processes within stars. These elements were dispersed when the star exploded as a supernova at the end of its life. They were then incorporated into a new generation of stars. And then into the planets that form around stars. And then they were responsible for the life-forms that originate on the planets. And this includes the life-forms that originated on Earth evolving from the simplicity of single-celled organisms to the complexity of us animals via natural selection.
This process is well understood and beyond reasonable doubt. Why do you question it?

For someone who trusts in man(this assumption is based on your faith in scientific teachings), you have no right to say what scriptural concept(s) were intended to be taken literally. You have not in the least bit, from what I'm gathering, indulged in Biblical knowledge at an intermediate level, therefore have no say in literal-ism within the text.
Don't mind if I do. This statement, "lion lying with the lamb," is not one to be overly analyzed, nor questioned. One should not accept it as metaphorical, or literal. Rather, understand that the nature of a new age given by a higher power, and authoritative deity, who is the ruler of galaxies, is one of supreme love and peace. In this world and its nature, the lion devours the lamb, but in a world where the glory of God rests indiscreetly, the lion will lie with lamb, and be unified with it as with it's own kind, therefore protect it, and comfort it.
