| Evolution will never be the Law of Evolution...or the Fact of Evolution.
In science, theories explain facts and laws...they are supported by facts and laws. They dont become laws.
Example: Law of conservation of matter....matter isnt created or destroyed in chemical reactions. Why???? the law doenst provide an answer.
Enter the Theory!! Atomic Theory (yes, the idea that matter is made of atoms is still called the atomic THEORY) explains why the law of conservation of matter is true.
Evolution is taught as the way things really happen (and not as some random idea that might be true) for the same reason that atomic theory and tectonic theory are taught as the way things happen. These theories can explain a whole ton of stuff, have a shitload of evidence backing them, and havent been shown to be false.
edit: as to the post above about Behe...see Ken Miller and his arguments that destroy Behe's |
