Sorry to lay a bum trip on those that believe evolution is not science, but evolution is a provable scientific theory (proven through scientific experiments and through the peer review process).

Are you suggesting that whatever makes it through the peer-review process has been proven to be true? How exactly would you prove that the world wasn't created yesterday?

No....it would be SCIENTIFICALLY true, until someone proves them wrong or shows that there's no evidence to support the theory as presented.

We scientists don't logically need to prove negatives. You would have to show that the world WAS created yesterday and I, as a scientist, only need to show/prove that you have no evidence that the world was created yesterday.

Welcome to the science world.
