Quote:evolution is not a fact. It is a theory.
Oh dear,another one.A common mistake made by young earth creationist loons.
Evolution is a fact. The THEORY of evolution is an explanation of empirical data. .For goodness sake go way and do some reading,your ignorance embarrasses you.

Quote:In scientific usage, the term "theory" is reserved for explanations of phenomena which meet basic requirements about the kinds of empirical observations made, the methods of classification used, and the consistency of the theory in its application among members of the class to which it pertains. These requirements vary across different scientific fields of knowledge, but in general theories are expected to be functional and parsimonious: i.e. a theory should be the simplest possible tool that can be used to effectively address the given class of phenomena. Such theories are constructed from elementary assumptions that are motivated by empirical data about observable phenomena. A scientific theory is used as a plausible general principle or body of principles offered to explain a phenomenon.[7]
