How would you answer my professor? I asked my professor 2 questions:

1) Do you believe that Evolution is a theory or fact?

2) Do you believe there are absolutes?

He wrote back:

"Evolution is both a fact and a theory."

On further evaluation, Evolution cannot be a fact and a theory. One is the object, the other is how it works. If you can't distinguish the two, then there is no sense in discussing the subject.

On the other part,

"The fact is that organisms change through time. No question about that (just look at you vs. your parents).

"The theory is the how that change occurs, and what changes have occurred through time."

I still agree, but as I stated before Evolutionist, and I'll add Darwinist and Liberal-secularist, have changed the definitions. It's all in keeping with their fear that there is God. ;)

I see that further discussion will be fruitless.

He raised good questions about the most important things.

Seen his essay on the shrinking Hershey bar? From observed past data about 2040 a Hershey bar will weigh zero oz. and cost $17
