Yes, and your point is?

Evolution is a theory, and is being changed every day as scientific evidence comes to light.

And it is as universally accepted in the scientific community as one would think.

Evolution is a theory, and has never been claimed to be otherwise.

An OVERWHELMING amount of scientists agree that it is the BEST scientific theory to explain the available evidence at this time, and if any scientist told YOU otherwise, I would question their scientific credentials.

Evolution is TAUGHT as fact. If you don't believe me, pick up a high-school biology book. It will read something like "4.6 billion years ago the earth evolved." Not MAY have evolved, or we believe it evolved, it did it.

My college science teacher at a secular university and I got in an argument one day over the word theory. I said evolution is a theory. It is not proven fact. It has evidences which people can accept or reject, but it is a theory, not fact. He said a theory is a fact in this case. How do you argue with such idiocy? Evolution is a theory. Creation is a theory. The best material from BOTH should be taught, and they should be taught as theories.

I will not deny that the majority of scientists believe in evolution. I will not say it is universal though because there are far too many highly credentialled folks who believe it is poppycock.
