[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Scientific fact isn't up for a vote.

You have yet to establish any facts about the "Origin of Species," it is only a theory...

I think it is time to get evolutionists off of welfare.

Evolution is a fact, like gravity. We know it exists and occurs.

Now, there is a theory as to how evolution happens; the Theory of Evolution. We can see evolution on a macro level through the fossil record, and observe it on the micro level with things like fruit flies. We have a theory as to how it happens, which involves natural selection, genetic drift, speciation, and adaptation. We don't know all of the particulars about how it works, but neither do we know about how gravity works exactly.

The theory is the hypothesis for how a known process occurs, not the known process itself, whether it be evolution or gravity.

Bingo...if not for the judiciary, NEA and insecure liberals with multiple God hang-ups, evolution would be nothing more than that quackery contraption designed to cure hiccups in a curiosity shop museum on the middle shelf in desperate need of a good dusting.
