I'm too dumb to be an atheist
#52
RE: I'm too dumb to be an atheist
If I'm not mistaken, a scientific theory is an explanation of the facts at hand and the things we know. Those facts don't change, but our understanding can change and thus theories can be modified or even replaced with new ones.
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould
