"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."

I like the KJV for the poetry and tradition. Not so much for clarity.
No, only vigilantes like the nawási (many people hate these guys, preachy even by the standards of tripoli)
Anyway, do I sound like a little "innocent" kid.
