No, no, no, no, NO! There is no "the theory of evolution"! There are
multifarious theories concerning the mechanisms that drive biological
evolution. That such evolution occurs is a demonstrated,
incontovertible, and unassailable FACT! A billion years ago there were
no dinosaurs. A hundred million years ago there WERE dinosaurs. Today
there are no dinosaurs. A hundred million years ago there were no
human beings. Today there ARE human beings. Species have come and
gone. They continue to do so. That is a fact. That's it......it
really IS that simple.

From the web page I point you to, "As Stephen J. Gould has
said, a scientific fact is not 'absolute certainty', but simply a theory
that has been 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to
withhold provisional consent'"....

Gould was wrong. Dead wrong. Unequivocally wrong. Scientific facts
ARE absolutely certain....just like any other facts. What is NOT
certain.....all too often.....is whether or not the assertion in
question is indeed a fact. That determination is what science is
about......and it does a damned fine job of it.

Meanwhile, advocates of "creationsim" and "intelligent design" are in
no material way any different than "flat earthers" and
"phlogistonists." They deserve a great deal more contempt and derision
than my meager lexical skills allow me to bestow on them. Treating
them like adults that one can have a meanigful discussion with is a
grave disservice not only to humanity, but to every other living thing
on the planet as well.

You should stop doing that.
