You are ignorant to the fact that science calls many things a theory when indeed it is accepted fact.

You are ignorant to the fact that in order for a scientific theory to be of value that it must yield reliable predictions or it is useless. For instance, the Theory of Relativity is such a good theory because not only does it explain past events, but it also can predict future occurances with astounding predictability. The same cannot be said of the Theory of Evolution.

For example: 1. What is the preceived rate of evolution? 2. What can we expect evolution to yield in the next 100, 1000, or even 10000 years? 3. What factors are most influential to the process of evolution.

Fact of the matter is that the Theory of Evolution, as an explanation for speciation, is the equivelant of saying "it just happens."

"it just happens."

That's the creatinist hypothesis.

We can expect evolution to produce (from earlier forms) orgamisms suited to deal most effectively with their environments.
