Good point. This is all suspect until someone writes a letter to his local congregation explaining how Ryantology died and was reborn in the flesh (even if he did look like someone else until he convinced people by telling them "it's me-- Ryantology!!!). Once we have the Gospel of Wilbur, then we can start taking it seriously.
"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."
