You've formulated it like this before, and have already been corrected. Once again, evolution is, scientifically speaking, the prevailing theory of biodiversity. In ordinary parlance, however, it's also a fact, since it's as well established a theory as is scientifically possible.

You think you're bolstering its veracity by denying that it's a theory, but you're not. To say that it's not a scientific theory is to say that it lacks the necessary characteristics of a scientific theory, i.e., that it lacks falsifiability. Falsifiability just means that, were it false, it would be a simple matter to disprove it with evidence that can be acquired via scientific discovery or experimentation. Evolution theory meets that standard.

Stop denying it's a theory. It just tells the informed that you don't know what that word means.


You may want to believe that you have 'corrected' my use of the word fact, and given your faith based position, that's understandable.

But you are wrong.

Evolution is both fact and theory for the given reasons. Reasons and evidence that have been provided numerous times, only to be ignored.

Preferring faith to reason and evidence, you refuse to accept the truth.
