You might want to read up on your creationist talking points.

This is from the Creation Ministries International website
Under Arguments we think creationists should not use:

“Evolution is just a theory.’ What people usually mean when they say this is ‘Evolution is not proven fact, so it should not be promoted dogmatically.’ Therefore people should say that. The problem with using the word ‘theory’ in this case is that scientists usually use it to mean a well-substantiated explanation of data. This includes well-known ones such as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and Newton’s Theory of Gravity, and lesser-known ones such as the Debye–Hückel Theory of electrolyte solutions and the Deryagin–Landau/Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory of the stability of lyophobic sols, etc.”

“You might want to read up on your creationist talking points.”

Thanks...done it...all full up on things that “usually mean a well-substantiated explanation of data.”

Key words in there like “usually” lose me...
