LOL again...scientific theories can never be “proven”...proof is reserved for mathematics...

Then why are they passed off as fact and why the derision against those who don't accept it as fact?

Metmom, c'mon...I'm just a reader of these threads, and even I know the basics of scientific theory have been explained to you ad nauseam and it's difficult to believe that you haven't absorbed a few of them... if I recall, Coyoteman always posted and put up links to the basic terms just to give the non-scientists some background to have common ground for discussion...

So you won't just say "See, you can't answer", of course evolution is both fact and theory...evolution facts refer to the changes in genetic material and evolution theory is explanation of how these changes occur...

I would daresay a lot of the derision is based on the observation that many on these threads pretend they don't understand the basic terminology of science...can't really have a scientific discussion without them...

Given that, I understand the angst of those who are literal Bible believers and the apparent conflict between "Bible Truth" and "Science Truth"...there is probably no way to reconcile the two in the Christian faith...keep in mind, however, in the Jewish faith, the two are kept separate and is not seen as contradiction...magritte
