...Your pro-"THEORY OF evolution is the only science" bias is short sighted.

the·o·ry

1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

2. The branch of a science or art consisting of its explanatory statements, accepted principles, and methods of analysis, as opposed to practice: a fine musician who had never studied theory.

3. A set of theorems that constitute a systematic view of a branch of mathematics.

4. Abstract reasoning; speculation: a decision based on experience rather than theory.

5. A belief or principle that guides action or assists comprehension or judgment: staked out the house on the theory that criminals usually return to the scene of the crime.

6. An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.

"1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested..."

Now you must define what a fact is. Websters defines it as an actual event or a thing done. Most science books I have read say something about observation. Plus, according to your definition above, it must be repeatly tested. So by those definitions science cannot draw a conclusion about things it cannot measure, like...primitive organisms that don't exist anymore (if ever), or transitional forms, or how non-life creates life, or how mutations could add genetic information (vs. subtract information).

Why did you highlight definition 6 when anyone who actually understands what "theory" means in a context of science knows that definition 1 is what applies.

Do you really think that you can make the foundation of evolution disappear by simply swapping out definitions of a word?
