Quote:Leave it open to analysis and compare it to other relevant theories.
Teacher: Class, yesterday you we went over the evidence that life began 750 million years ago in the ocean. Today, you will learn that all life began 6,000 years ago in the Middle East.
Student: Teacher, what evidence is there for that?
Teacher: It's told in the bible but alas, there is no actual evidence for it.
(20 Minutes later the principal calls the teacher to his office)
Principal: The Baptist Theological Council wants you removed from the classroom for dissing the bible.
Perhaps you are really as naive as you sound, Perhaps. These bastards don't want it taught. They want it preached. There is a difference that you clearly do not understand.
As far as your notion that a theory can become a law it is apparent that you simply do not know what you are talking about.
Quote:Until a theory becomes a law, I'm perfectly ok with it not being accepted as fact.

Quote:Some scientific theories include the theory of evolution, the theory of relativity, the atomic theory, and the quantum theory. All of these theories are well documented and proved beyond reasonable doubt. Yet scientists continue to tinker with the component hypotheses of each theory in an attempt to make them more elegant and concise, or to make them more all-encompassing. Theories can be tweaked, but they are seldom, if ever, entirely replaced.
A theory is developed only through the scientific method, meaning it is the final result of a series of rigorous processes. Note that theories do not become laws. Scientific laws must exist prior to the start of using the scientific method because, as stated earlier, laws are the foundation for all science.
I think you were reading your fucking bible in science class.
