Evolution remains a theory whether you like it or not. Oh, I like it fine. It's one of the most solid scientific theories we have.
Evolution is also a fact in that we have DNA evidence via ERV insertions that apes and humans have a common ancestor that evolved into multiple species.
Creationists aren't going away
Just like poverty. You guys will always be with us. Because you're Stuck On Stupid.

A scientific theory can never be proven. The fact that people do not understand this any more is the scariest part about science today. People think scientific theories = truth. That is scarier than anything a creationist or ID could do to a public school.
I am beginning to think that all the scientists that really understood what science is are all dead and we are left with the modern, politically driven scientists.
"But scientific theories, remember, cannot be conclusively proven. The dependence on background assumptions to make predictions is sometimes called the Duhem-Quine problem."
And to make matters worse:
"Besides using auxiliary assumptions to make predictions, such assumptions are necessary to find out if the predictions come true."
