Not by the rules and definitions of real science. Again, theories can change. Facts do not.

I suggest that you read what I said again. This time more carefully.
No need. The response was appropriate, accurate and precise.

Only in your imagination. Reality is a different matter.

Q: Can a fact change?
A: No.

Q: Can a theory change?
A: Yes.

Seems pretty straight forward and unimaginative. I understand it doesn’t allow for the rhetoric required to fuel debate, but its the truth. Verbal kung-fu only discredits the writer.

You really, really, really believe in the Theory of Evolution. You are certain that it is real. Its cool. Nobody’s judging your belief.

Its just not a fact. That’s reality.


So there you go, you didn't understand what I said about evolution, that theory is used to explain the means and mechanisms of the facts of evolution.

Where theory is a narrative used to explain the facts of evolution as a means to build a better understanding of the evolutionary process.


Which does not mean that 'evolution is just a theory,' as theists love to say.
