Why Christians Attack Evolution

[Mister Agenda]

Two things. The theory of evolution by natural selection is just that, a theory. It is provisional.

Oh, Discipulus, you were making so much sense up to this point. You correctly warned us agains blanket statements and proclaimed how you don't attack evolution...then you say something ignorant about evolution. In colloquial English, a theory is an educated guess, a conjecture. What in science would be a hypotheisis. In science (except for theoretical physics, which should be re-named hypothetical physics) your ideas don't rise to the level of a theory until they've proven robust enough to stand up to intense efforts to disprove it.

The theory of evolution is as provisional as the germ theory of disease. It's made of facts, explains those facts, and we can make predictions based on it and actually observe it in action.

'It's just a theory' is a phrase that can never be properly applied to an actual scientific theory.
