Sirchtruth has had the scientific meaning of the word theory explained many times.

Is it the contention of all you evolutionist that just because I've had something explained to me that mean I should just automatically belive in the cult of evolution?

I've "explain" alot of things to evolutionist too...Obviously you don't believe you're being duped by a huge lie?

First, the definition of a theory again. Words do mean things, and they mean specific things. They do not change at a whim or there cannot be rational discussion (hence, what we often see on these threads).

You obviously hate evolution so much that you are willing to contort standard meanings for things, such as the definition of a theory. This is not asking you to believe in evolution, but to accept what scientists mean when they talk about a theory, whether it is gravity, germs, or evolution.

My guess is you accept the first two, but reject the latter on religious grounds. Fine; but don't think that it is either honest or rational to reject standard scientific definitions because of your phobia against evolution--the science is the same in all three cases, as we have tried to explain to you.

So, once again, here is the definition of "theory" closest to what scientists accept:

Theory: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"

Now you may consider the theory of evolution a lie, but you are arguing from a religious viewpoint--not to be confused with a scientific viewpoint. You really should try to keep the two separate. Your belief does not constitute scientific evidence.

That's why the ID folks keep trying to "wedge" the issue into the schools through popular opinion and school boards. They cannot compete in the world of science, and they know it.

Look, I really appreciate the work you've done to point all this out to me, but it still doesn't mean evolution is fact.

I don't hate evolutionist, I just think they been duped by a lie perpetrated by an illusion. Anything to take the eyes off the TRUTH.

And as I've stated, I don't really care if you want to make a choice to believe in evolution, but please call it what it really is as I argue from a LOGICAL point of view, it's FAITH.
