re: #275 slokat

actually, “Evolution is fact” is a misstatement.

At best over reaching, at worst the same type of rhetoric that you posted against.

Alternate true statements would include:
…supported by many facts
…seems to fit many facts
…best theory to explain many facts

Evolution is change in terrestrial species over time. THAT this has happened is incontrovertible, as attested to by the fossil record; HOW it happens is the province of evolutionary theory, and the central evolutionary theory tenets of random genetic mutation and nonrandom environmental selection are supported by vast masses of empirical evidfence, and contradicted by not a single shred.
