If the new evidence were to indicate a flaw so fundamental as to invalidate the whole theory (a modern rabbit fossil discovered in the Pre-Cambrian era, for example) then the ToE would be discarded in favor of a theory that accounts for all the evidence, including the newly found bunny. Yeah, right! More likely the guy would be out of a job.... There is no future for anyone who tries to substitute "I don't know" for a theory. Nobody claiming evolution is a fact? Then why is this happening? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1439784/posts

Aside from the way too obvious opening for snidely commenting on ID as being an 'I don't know' theory, all I can say about this remark is it is a hypothetical that has no basis in reality that you could point to for support.

That article provides a nice example of equivocation regarding the word evolution from the creationist side, but I fail to see one from the evolutionist side. I didn't sort through the posts, though. If there is one in specific you wish me to see, please identify it.

Now, back to the origin of our current exchange: I have called your statement of 'What rules are these? They can't be very robust as we have [evolutionist] scientists constantly saying that evolution is not a theory but a proven fact.' a fallacy of equivocation. Either directly answer this challenge or concede the point.
