The point of this article, and one I always try to make being a scientist, is that evolution is NOT science. It's a theory.

I never knew that sciences and theories are mutually exclusive. Thanks for clearing that up.

Never said that. Thanks for showing your lack of analytic capacity.

“I never knew that sciences and theories are mutually exclusive”

I think this article is idiotic, but to be fair what they’re saying is the theory of evolution is not scientific because you can’t run an experiment to falsify or confirm it. Little known to them, apparently, is that scientists agree. Big Picture Evolution is really more a story than a theory.

The scientific part of evolutionary biology is natural and sexual selection. We only use the sweeping saga of life from primordial ooze to human civilization to give us an informally organized view of the whole pattern of which the specific selection from generation to generation is the scientific part. Sorta like how astronomers study the sweeping life of the cosmos, for instance, to guide their understanding of the science while their specific experiments are the real deal. You can’t verify the Big Bang theory experimentally, though you can strengthen trust in it. It’s there to help you understand what your experiments and observations mean.
