["convincing Americans that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is a rigorously tested cornerstone of modern science."]

God how stupid can you be.

Who?

Anyone who took 6th grade science knows that you can never prove a theory correct, only prove it wrong.

That's why they didn't say that it *had* been "proven correct". They said it had been rigorously tested. And it has.

Any scientific theory, including F=ma or Einstein's theory of relativity, can only ever gain credence but never become fact, because a new piece of data can always come along and bring down the house of cards.

Right.

Yes you are right in this place. But in many other articles the authors treat evolution as if it has in fact proven true. That's what I was reacting to and those were the people I was calling stupid. (Not you and certainly not God!)
