The fraud occurs when theory is taught to students as fact, when students are not taught to think critically, and that is my point. It IS taught as fact, and has been for years, and has become institutionalized as impregnable fact. Further, its favored stance as impregnable in the classroom has led to its dissemination through our culture as fact; to wit, watch The History Channel, Discovery Channel, PBS, any show -- including news programs -- (or many of the popular books on these subjects) that talks about the earth in even the remotest way and you will hear undisputed statements about how this or that happened billions of years ago in our universe, about physical events flowing from the big bang theory, about this or that group of people who roamed the earth millions of years ago doing this or that as man evolved after his ancestors crawled out of the murk. Once one's ears and eyes are attuned to these references, the enormity of this theory's influence is rather shocking.
That is a fraud of unfathomable proportions.
Please explain what is meant by "theory" in the context of science.
It appears the fraud was in your education. Seek a refund.
