You can't move evolution from fairy tale to fact by playing word games.

Coming from someone who tries to enforce his definition of scientific "theory", that's pretty funny. There was a very comprehensive description of scientific "theory" vs. "law" in a Crevo thread last week. I'm too lazy to repost it here. You can look it up.

In the mean time, grace me by being the first Creationist to answer my question about why they teach music "theory" in college? Is there some question about whether music exists? Do you have any personal doubts about the existence of music?

Words mean things. You are the one who's played games with them and I caught you red handed so you're mad.

It's simple, Mr. Narb. "Theory," has 4 meanings. When applied to music, it means

A set of rules or principles designed for the study or practice of an art or discipline.
When applied to evolution, it means
An assumption or guess.

Yes, words mean things. Choose them carefully so they don't come back to haunt you.
