I don't have any problem with the self-regulating nature of 'good science'. But, while science is regulating itself through 'better science', generations of people go to their graves not knowing that the things they believed so wholeheartedly are now false.

Wouldn't it be better to teach it as theory than as fact?

This is what irks me. Math is math. I can go back 30 years ago to what I learned and it's still valid because it's truth.

English is english. I can go back 30 years ago to what I learned and it's still valid because it's truth.

Music is music. Chemistry is chemistry. Astronomy is astronomy. But evolution seems to rank right up there with astrology...it depends on what you believe and who you believe is making the readings.

I have thought evolution was taught as theory. So I would agree with you on that.
