Surely you have heard, few self-respecting biologists would call evolution a 'theory'.

I myself have a Ph.D. in biophysics. I work with scores of biologists. All of us call it a theory. Among working biological scientists, only a tiny minority of kooks have a problem with evolution, and even those kooks hardly ahve any problem calling it a theory.

When someone resorts to calling those who disagree with him "kooks" that is strong evidence that his argument is weak.

If they really are kooks just point out the fallacy of their agruments.

Nothing like a little ad hominem to start off a discussion. I think I'll pass, but I will at least say that I'm not it is helpful to classify someone like Michael Behe or William Harris as a 'kook'.
