Letmarch, you are correct, don’t mind the superscilious non-argument.

“The scientific reasoning that explains how an machine weighing hundred of tons”

It’s also observable, a requirement for ALL true (not theory) science. Evolution isn’t science, even remotely. And what you’re talking about are actually scientific LAWS, not theories. Scientific laws are theories that have been tested over and over and have, as of yet, proven irrefutable, with the qualifier that they can be disproven at any time (also a foundational principle of science). Evolution has ZERO observable evidence. Natural selection, sure, but that’s not evolution. Changing from one species to another species NEVER has ever happened. It’s not possible. Even domesticated animals are the same species, by definition of species, as wildy different their traits may be. Our scientific nomenclature has altered over and over to give credence to what we wish do currently define as “species” meaning through DNA rather than other traits, but species are those organisms that will naturally breed and produce nonsterile offspring.

And yes, it IS a LIE to teach theory as fact. It is only a theory, and that’s the only way that science can ever improve, is by not accepting “concensus” and “settled science” just because someone says so. Or people would still believe in alchemy, homunculi and succubi.

Or creationism.

Evolution isn't even a 'theory'. It's a logical fallacy known as "affirming the consequent". It works like this. Evolution 'predicts' change. Change is observed, therefore evolution is 'true'.

That is, was and always will be a logical fallacy.
