Or, how's this for a disclaimer to the disclaimer:
Scientific theory should not be confused with fable or conjecture. For an example of a belief system that does not rise to the status of a scientific theory, take any religion. At bottom it is a superstition which postulates that sheer magic or unobservable beings somehow are more responsible for the operation of the world than predictable cause-and-effect relations. Such a notion takes the idea that stepping on a sidewalk crack will eventually somehow break your mother's back and extends it to the history of the universe.

One can question the Theory of Evolution without relying on religion, you know.

The eye is a very complex organ, and it CANNOT function without ALL of its parts being in place, that is SIGHT. So why did an animal decided to begin "evolving" making some parts of an eye but could not use it for seeing for millions of years until the complete eye had eventually formed? Did it forsee itself as one day being able to see? How did it know that sight was possible? Oh yeh, it was an oops - accident that became beneficial through caring around unusable tissues for millions of years until VOILA! I CAN SEE! I CAN SEE! Oh how intelligent that sounds. And we creationist are so gullible.......aren't we?
