Quote:“Theory” in Science: A theory is really one of the pinnacles of science – what nearly everyone strives to make out of their hypotheses. A hypothesis is elevated to a theory when it has withstood all attempts to falsify it. Experiment after experiment has shown it sufficient to explain all observations that it encompasses. In other words, a “theory” has never been shown to be false, despite – usually – hundreds if not thousands of separate attempts to break it. It explains the observations with one or more mechanisms and, because it provides that mechanism, it is considered to be above the level of a Law. Examples these days are the Theory of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, the Germ Theory of Disease, and yes, the Theory of Evolution.
Of course, Taylor, your problem is that some idiot who can ask "if man evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys?" is not going to be able to comprehend the explanation given above.
No, they prefer simple fairy tales like "god played in the dirt and here I am."
Smart people have scientific theories. Idiots really do need the bible as they can't grasp anything more complex.
