Sure, we treat them as facts, because for all intents and purposes..they are. But once you say "evolution is a fact", then you go from the scientific to the layperson...something we chastise people for doing when they say that evolution is "just a theory". So while I certainly consider evolution to be the actual representation of what is going on, to the best of our observable limits, I won't quibble with someone who wants to stay away from calling it a "fact"....as long as they understand what it really is, and don't discount it simply because it can't be classified as a scientific "law" yet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:342822 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
