Vaquero: "Global warming IS fake.
Evolution is a fact.
No theory.
A fact. (Various permutations Of evolution may be considered theoretical)"

You just have to be careful with such claims.
An awful lot of this "debate" boils down to definitions of terms...

So, there are indeed innumerable observed facts associated with evolution and many confirmed predictions, making Darwin's falsifiable hypothesis a valid theory.
There are also many related unconfirmed & unconfirmable hypotheses, along with notable research brainstorming.
I would put ideas like "panspermia" in the brainstorming category.

Here is a fact: in over 150 years basic evolution theory has never been strongly falsified.

Yes. There is that. Like to check the geysers on Enceladus to see if life exists there. Or perhaps Europa.

“Here is a fact: in over 150 years basic evolution theory has never been strongly falsified.”

Can you be more precise in what you term, “basic evolutionary theory”?

And I am not asking just to yank your chain... that term could mean totally different things to different people. What specifically are you referring to when you use the term?
