TO ALL THEISTS: EVOLUTIONARY THEORY IN A NUTSHELL YOU CAN UNDERSTAND.

RE: TO ALL THEISTS: EVOLUTIONARY THEORY IN A NUTSHELL YOU CAN UNDERSTAND.
(April 25, 2012 at 12:19 pm)Creed of Heresy Wrote: Theories ARE facts. They are accepted as facts, they have evidence and information gathered via empirical studies and through a lot of research to show that it is fact.

This is an often confused concept amongst lay individuals. Please refer to this article for clarity:

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html

To summarize, theories are not facts and evolution is both a fact and a theory. Religious people trivialize a theory as completely unsupported by facts, which is not true, but it is equally not true that a theory is a fact. One can say that evolution is a fact--if you are not speaking in regard to the theory of evolution, which is not a fact. It is a theory about the mechanism of evolution.
