You asked me what I thought of the situation, I told you.
Go play dictionary games with the poster who mentioned definitions.
The article is not about whether evolution is or isn't a theory, or even whether it's true or not, it's about whether its fair and proper to force children to learn it.
A huge portion of teachers in St Petersburg and Moscow are old line athiests. It's wrong to subject students to aithest all too eager to use to power of the state to preach their view of the world.
If you want to debate semantics which are irrelevant to the article I posted, go for it, if you want to know why I find it abominable that students in such a climate be forced under the tutolage of athiest propagandists who will twist evolution's tenats to suit their needs I'll be happy to explain.
Not so. The only thing I asked you was whether you accepted the American Heritage Dictionary definition of theory; and you did not tell me one way or the other.
