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.

Where has evolution been taught as fact? If they have taught it as 'fact' or proven they are wrong. It is simply the best theory that we currently have.

Every PBS nature show and every National Geographic channel show I have ever seen.

I hardly ever bother to post on these types of threads, but my own experiences in public education included many instances of teachers teaching evolution as a fact. Yes, the book calls it the theory of evolution...and when a student would bring that up, I saw several teachers scorn and ridicule the student for believing that evolution could be anything other than a fact. One teacher and one professor said almost identical words, about 8 years apart. They said, “Of course evolution is a fact. Don’t be ridiculous.” Evolution was taught as a fact every year since 7th grade. I kept my own mouth shut, never wanting to be the object of ridicule for not being a “believer.”

Here in Georgia concerned parents placed a sticker on science tests reminding students evolution is a theory and they were sued.
