It isn't. It is taught as the 'Theory' of evolution. Look up the definition of 'theory.' It doesn't mean fact.
Straw dog arguments just make you look silly.
I said that it is taught as fact in the MEDIA. It may be promulgated as a theory in schools, but in the Media evolution is taught as fact.
I watch these National Geographic programs all the time and they don't talk about the "theory" that these creatures evolved, they treat it as fact. They state, without qualification, the age of the rocks, the age of the universe, and the age of each creature and how and from what they evolved.
It is not taught in the media as any kind of "theory". It is represented as true without qualifications.
You don't listen to the MSM much, do you?
“Straw dog arguments just make you look silly.”
Silly? Popular insult on DU and in the Liberal press. OH NOOOOOOOOO I’ve been called SILLY! snicker....
No one said it WAS fact, silly, the opposite point was made, that it was preposterous that it was commonly treated AS IF it were fact. Silly....hmmmppphhhhhh....
What I said was it was a theory. Are you offering some special mystical insight here, ‘cause there is certainly no logic in correcting something that someone has said by emphasizing what they said, silly...
“I once heard a smart man say that you canÂ’t reason someone out of something that they didnÂ’t reaso”
Your tag line is silly...hmmmmmmmpphhhhhhhh....
And yet I've heard about the “fact” of evolution at FreeRepublic and elsewhere.
I think it was Stephen J. Gould who first said that evolution was a theory and a fact. He also fessed up and admitted that the fossil record was one of sudden emergence, stasis and, sometimes, extinction. In other words, the fossil record did not demonstrate creatures evolving into other creatures.
