If one started off on an incorrect presumption then one might wish to correct them.

Say you asked “Why did this nation become a Democracy?” and I pointed out that we are not a Democracy, and Democracy was anathema to our founders; would you assume I was against you asking questions, or that I had specific problems with the specifics of the question?

Your statement that this was ‘just a theory’ shows that you have little concept of what a theory actually is. That you object to this being portrayed as ‘fact’ you show that you do not understand that theories are ABOVE facts in the hierarchy of Scientific Explanation.

It was as if we were talking about the conduct of a lieutenant and you came along and said “you know he is just a Colonel don't you?”; you would be elevating the subject without cause in an attempt to discredit the subject by applying a term that denotes MORE confidence.

Ok. See, I’m not bothered that it was pointed out I used the wrong terminology. Actually it just encouraged me to do some reviewing. Obviously some of yall are more “evolved”, regarding Evolution. I’m willing to listen to others thoughts and ideas but my concern was, and still is that the rest of us, daily, are being told this is fact. If creation was presented this way, people would be screaming from the roof tops. We are seeing the same with GW. People just need to ask questions. When did “why” or “how” become bad words?
