eveolution is only an unproven theory. This fact drives evolutionists crazy when you mention it.


BS. You should know that theories cannot be proved! "Evolutionists" post this often enough. But, just so you have no excuse for this particular ignorance again...

Definitions (from a google search):

Theory: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"

Hypothesis: a tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was accepted in chemical practices"

Observation: any information collected with the senses

Data: factual information, especially information organized for analysis or used to reason or make decisions

Fact: when an observation is confirmed repeatedly and by many independent and competent observers, it can become a fact

Belief: any cognitive content (perception) held as true; religious faith

Dogma: a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof

Impression: a vague idea in which some confidence is placed; "his impression of her was favorable"; "what are your feelings about the crisis?"; "it strengthened my belief in his sincerity"; "I had a feeling that she was lying"

Based on this, evolution is a theory. CS and ID are beliefs or dogma.

LOL, my aren't we touchy when our religion is outed for what it is.

If evolution is only a theory and eveolutionists point that out all the time, why is it that the faithful go into cardiac arrest when the theory of Creation is supported to be taught right along side it?

Pulease, get a grip.
