Theory: An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture

THat is not the definition of the word 'theory' when used in a scientific context. If you want to be taken seriously in a scientific discussion, at least learn what the words mean. This is another example of the creationist habit of misleading and/or lying their way through arguments.

"THat is not the definition of the word 'theory' when used in a scientific context."

OK Smarty-pants, what IS the definition of "theory" in a scientific context? And please be sure to include that part that says theory=fact. You know, that little troublesome tidbit you're defending but neglected to include.

"This is another example of the creationist habit of misleading and/or lying their way through arguments."

And speaking of a scientific discussion, where and why did you jump to the conclusion that I am a creationist?

"If you want to be taken seriously in a scientific discussion, at least learn what the words mean."

Oooh, please take me seriously. Oh please oh please oh please!!!

That's right, when dealing with "scientist" wild sarc you must let them set the terms, and terminology, otherwise how could they set the tone and control the conversation? I grow weary of definition wars, here's the bottom line, this moron claimed Evolution as fact, which it is clearly not. Running in circles around this does not make it go away. Calling it a fact doesn't make it true, any more than calling the moron who called it fact intelligent makes that true.
