Ian Johanson And also points out that the ordinary dictionary definition of evolution is often not accurate (or is even incorrect). > Thank you for the resource. There are various competing theories of Evolution, and various scientists saying different things about it. The current explanation that I read is that Evolution is all change, mutations, and growth from generation to generation. In that sense, it is not really a Theory anymore, but an observation.
A Scientific Theory is a Theory that cannot be disproven. So while scientists may consider Evolution to be a fact, I think they are being disengenous by expanding the concept to include any kind of change, mutation, etc. The scientific community still cannot agree over how Evolution happens, which is part of what Darwin originally proposed in his Theory. So half of the theory is accepted as a fact by scientists, and the other half has several competing theories. In literature that would be called a half-baked theory. ------------------------ Yahoo!
