*But* as far as evolution is taught to the general lay public - which includes schoolchildren - I consider my assertions true.

And yet you offer no support for your assertions.

The general public is under the impression that the theory of evolution is not a theory, but a more or less proven fact, and that is not guided by Divinity, but by accident.

Then the general public is ignorant of the nature of evolution. But this isn't a surprise. The general public is ignorant of the nature of most of science. Ask the average layperson what a "scientific theory" is, and they will likely give a woefully inadequate answer.

You are "right on the money" with this post.
