Yeah, well looks to me like a lot of people see the theory of evolution as much more than mere science.

No one says science has all the answers. Science is a just a tool for describing the physical world. It is ultimately an educated guess, but that best guess is very good. All of science's tools, including evoution, are immensely useful and productive tools for mankind to employ.

It looks like to me you are calling people darwin-idolators. As the owner of this site, what kind of tone does this set? I maintain it is destructive. Why drive people away? I seem to remember seeing a copy of a post you made defending libertarians when there was a big stink about them not belonging here. Libertarians always were a relatively small minority, but you went to bat for them. Why won't you go to bat for pro-science folks who don't like to be called idolator and nazi?

Therein are the key words: The theory of evolution.

True science has "Laws". Such as the law of gravity, ohms law, etc, etc.

It seems certain people want the "theory of evolution" changed to the "law of evolution".

Somehow I think some of these same people would throw a hissy fit should it be proposed that Einstein's "theory of relativity" be changed to the "law of relativity".

But not by those doing science. The anti-scientists do this constantly, especially if they are freshmen students in a science class.
