> the nuts on the far-left want evolution passed off as a fact when the scientific community still has it as a theory
Ahem: "fact" and "theory" are not mutually exclusive. In this case, evolutionary theory describes a general process. Evolution is a fact in that we can see conclusively that it has happened and that it continues.
"fact" and "theory" are not mutually exclusive"
Yes they are. If I remember correctly, it goes hypothesis, theory and ends as fact. A theory is something that can be tested and confirmed, but not 100% conclusive. Theories can also be tested and be proven wrong any day.
That is what I remember. It's been 30 years.
"Evolution" is a word which describes the action prediction by "evolutionary theory" It is not a fact but a theory supported by facts. Some of the facts are specific fossils, and some are things like DNA similarities among species. Claiming that evolution is a fact plays into the hands of the anti-evolutionists.
