Much the same way your definition of "sentient" isn't found in any dictionary. Why would I waste my time pointing to threads in the philosophy forum just so you could insist that they don't meet your bizarre definition of philosophy? Besides, the last I checked, this isn't the "enrico's forum of crazy-talk" and you don't get to decide what does or doesn't qualify as philosophy or what does or doesn't belong in any specific forum.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
