You trust the publick screwels to present the process of scientific analysis correctly?

I taught Biology (in the publick screwels .. thanks for the rushbo) for 7 years. I am a conservative. Yes, I did present the process of scientific analysis. I also taught evolution as a theory. I also taught create-ism as a theory.

What I really abhor about this subject is the way it polarizes people. An open mind never hurt anyone.

How did you teach create-ism as a theory? It has no such scientific status, because it makes no predictions and no observation can ever falsify it. Or were you just using the word theory to mean "wild-assed guess" in which case it applies to create-ism but not to evolution.

Give us the scientific definition of "theory."

What does this theory predict? How can it be tested? What hypothetical observation would falsify this theory?
