Evolution is a theory, plain and simple. You cannot duplicate it in a laboratory, nor can you make predictions based on it.

Which means it doesn't fit the definition of a scientific law. It's an extremely easy concept to grasp; even for someone as 'educated' as yourself.

Can you state the difference between "theory" and "law"? Do you believe that theories can become laws in science?

I like to liken a theory to a seriouslly mentally handycapped infant and a theory to a mature, experienced old man.

But you're right evolution is just a theory, or speculation.

Evolution attempts to give solidity to pure wind. :)
