Why are students told that Darwin's theory of evolution is a scientific factWhoever wrote this sentence has no idea what a fact is. Or what a theory is. Or why facts and theories aren't in competition with each other. The dry leaden textbooks try to explain it, but Gould explains it brilliantly, in a way that students of any persuasion will remember.
I am an MIT graduate and I have never believed the Darwinian model of ecolutionary development. I am glad that the students referenced do in fact have the proper requisite for scientific understanding, the ability to challenge a scenario that lacks fundamantal proof.
