There's a reason that scientific debates exist. It's because different scientists synthesize the same data with different assumptions, have different evidentiary weight on different types of information, and therefore often come to different conclusions. The conclusions drawn from studies and reviews often reflect a scientist's thought process just as much as they do the data.

The reason why debate exists is because you have people who review and accept the mountains of evidence that exist, and then you have others who do not. We are always looking to update what we know and there are hypotheses that exist for areas where we arent clear about something, which can be fun in a thought-provoking way to speculate on those. But that is not the same as saying science, let alone evolution specifically, is just opinions.
