"LOL So, it really is just a "theory". Huh. How about that."

It would help if those who claim to disagree with the Theory of Evolution would (a) understand what scientists mean when they say "theory" (it is not the colloquial definition) and (b) understood what the Theory of Evolution actually is (many of them have an abysmally poor understanding of the basics of science, period).

The theory of evolution isn't based on science. It's based on unprovable theories for which no science exists to be able to prove.
In fact science has disproved many parts of the theory, which is why it keeps having to change and require billions more years. For example, the earth is now 4.3 billion years old.
The problem with that statement is if it is, why do we still have a moon, knowing it moves 3cm further from the earth each year?
At 1.2 billion years, it would have been so close to earth, the tides would have swept over the mountains, ignoring the fact gravity of the earth would have pulled the moon apart, much like jupiter pulls comets apart when they get to close it's gravitational influence. All sorts of laws of gravity in space are broken and need rebending.
The laws of gravity also dispell the notion that planets form from stellar dust, no matter how many billions of years you add on to the age of the universe.
