I have one simple question. Why is a sticker saying that evolution is a theory a threat to the scientific community? Did I miss the announcement that evolution has now been declared a scientific fact?
In case VR is away, I'll take a stab right quick.
In a strictly legal sense, because all similar processes in science are called "theories", the sticker would be OK if it said that. That ALL the stuff in the book were theories.
But to single out Evolution, when it's obvious to any conscious human that it is a religious element that's fighting it, is a First Amendment establishment of religion. (I have some problems with the way the First is interpreted, but that is the common interpretation)
Evidently, yes. And it was in at least two places.
Evolution is a Fact and a Theory. [Laurence Moran]
Evolution as Fact and Theory. [Stephen Jay Gould]
