There is so much wrong with that phrase.

What do you bet he can't define either of the words in bold?

Hey, Riketto has kept a thread going for 50-something pages based on his inability to define "intuitional science." Don't underestimate the stamina of delusional nitwits.
"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."
