I mean you get these questions from people who, apparently, dropped out of school in grade 4 who seem to think that since Evolution is a "theory", it's not based on facts.
To be honest, It really get's me down. The idea that someone's education was so lacking that they don't even know that Evolution, like ALL other Science, is a Theorem. And when you point out that Gravity, Thermodynamics, Relativity are all THEORIES, they don't believe you.
The ignorance is, quite frankly, staggering.
Just for those of you who don't seem to understand, let me spell it out for you. Gravity is a THEORY. There is ONE "law" of gravity and that is Newton's Law of Gravity. Did you get that? HIS law. He wrote it. However, it is far from widely accepted. Scientists still debate the actual forces behind gravity. Yet the fact that gravity exists is not debated.
The same thing goes for Evolution. No scientist debates that it occurs, only how it occurs is debated.
Understand now?
(sigh, probably not...)
