Evolution is being treated like a principle when questioned, and like a theory when changes to it are needed.

I disagree. The principle that evolution proceeds by variation and natural selection has been unchanged for 100 years. The graduated v. punctuated evolution debate, the relative emphasis given to individuals vs. populations, the role of sexual selection, none of these really change the core premise; and one could equally say that the second law was radically altered by the elucidation of the principles of statistical mechanics, gravitation by relativity, and the conservation laws by the discovery of equivalence of mass and energy.

Evolution is to biology as the second law is to thermodynamics.

>>Evolution is to biology as the second law is to thermodynamics.<<

I have a black cat in my house. Make an evolutionary prediction.

I have a refrigerator in my house. I predict that it will be cold.

That's why biology is not taken seriously as a hard science. My appologies to all those molecular biologists and other specialites in biology that this does not apply to, but I'm sure everyone gets my meaning.

Considering all the fraud biologists have fallen for over the years, I'm surprised evolution hasn't degraded to a proposition.

Evolution is to Biology as goo is to concrete (kind of a mess when you put'em together with force)
