>Evolution has been a 'theory' for what... more than 150 years?
And will remain a nebulous theory for years to come. It will never make it to law.
>My guess is that it will be a theory for another 300 years or until people give up on it or new and improved theories are developed.
I predict that your prediction will soon prove wrong as more and more evidence comes out that evolution is mere pseudo science. I can't believe seemingly intelligent people still believe in this nonsense of evolution.
You clearly haven't got a clue about the difference between a scientific theory and a law. Please refrain from commenting on science until you know some.
And will remain a nebulous theory for years to come. It will never make it to law.
ROFL!!! You know, you should *really* read the thread before you step into the same pitfall that others have already fallen face-first into and been shown to be foolish for doing. Heck, even if you had just read the replies to THAT SAME POST you were responding to you'd have seen how it was already explained that theories do not "graduate" to laws as you naively and incorrectly presume.
They are different classes of description, and do not change back and forth into each other

Dream on. The ignorant have been predicting that was about to happen "any day now" for oh, 150 years now.
For some perspective, check out this web page on The Imminent Demise of Evolution. Anti-evolutionists have been continuously predicting that evolution was about to come crashing down any day now since 1840... That page contains quotes predicting the "any day now" crash of evolution from 1840, 1850, 1878, 1895, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1912, 1922, 1929, 1935, 1940, 1961, 1963, 1970, 1975, 1976, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002.
Sample:
"It must be stated that the supremacy of this philosophy has not been such as was predicted by its defenders at the outset. A mere glance at the history of the theory during the four decades that it has been before the public shows that the beginning of the end is at hand."But surely, you're finally right *this* time, eh? Dream on.

You guys crack me up.
Meanwhile, evolutionary biology has only become more and more solid as more evidence has been examined and more research has been done. In fact, in the past 10-15 years, with the explosion of data flooding in with the advent of rapid DNA sequencing techniques, the amount of evidence supporting evolution, in so many different cross-confirming ways, has become so massive that for all practical purposes, the "debate" is *over*. The reality of evolutionary common descent is so vastly overwhelming in the DNA, and evolutionary histories can be "read" from the DNA so easily, that no one who is actually familiar with the evidence doubts the reality of common ancestry. Even the so-called "leaders" of the "design movement", like Behe and Dembski, admit the reality of common descent.
I can't believe seemingly intelligent people still believe in this nonsense of evolution.
I can't believe that there are people so ignorant of basic science that they can make the kind of goofy and dead wrong statements that you make here, but there sure are an endless number of you showing up all the time.
If you are going make a logical argument you should review the definitions that define the terms of argument. Proof is of philosophy and requires no fact or evidence and is but by argument. Laws are of mathematics and physics and are the determined rules that must be observed. Theories are of science and are the explanation of observed fact, evidence, and empirical evidence for the fact. Scientific theories are of a higher order than fact.
