Very true. but evolution is one of the most studied, and verified, theories in science. As theories go, it's pretty rock solid. But Sam is right, anyone who calls evolution a "fact" should probably be corrected....after all, if we are going to hold people accountable for discounting evolution as a "theory" because they don't understand the true scientific meaning of the word, then WE must be sure to hold our words to their scientific meanings as well. Evolution is not a scientific fact, it is a scientific theory. Sam knows full well the weight that scientific theory holds, and he's never doubted or debated against it....he just questions the validity of calling it a "fact", and semantically and scientifically speaking, he's right. So if we can just clear up these silly semantics, i don't think there is any disagreement here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:342819 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
