Is evolution a theory or is it a fact?

Evolution, the change of organisms over generations, is an observed fact. The Theory of Evolution is postulated to describe the mechanism or mechanisms of that change.

Bingo.

verifiable observation = fact;
facts that fall into a predictable relationship = law;
explanation = theory.

It's so sad that with the length of time some of the creationoids have been around here, such basic matters still need to be pointed out.

balrog666: Tell us about any "scientific theory" that has been magically transformed into a "scientific fact".

Junior: Evolution, the change of organisms over generations, is an observed fact.

There you go 666, one of your comrades just transformed it right before your eyes. Be sure to thank him for making you look foolish.

Creationists hardly need to post on this thread, the evolutionists are doing a fine job of refuting one another ;-)
