Quote:yet scienctist are still willing to believe in a big bang that no one was around to observe.You sure you want to wander on that slippery slope? Because I'm wondering if you think it's okay to believe in things that no one was around to observe, or if you think it's crazy to do so.
"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."
