I want to ask this in a neutral context and get some less biased answers than I have been getting. I guess there are two questions that I have here.
1. How do you view evolution, as a fact or as theory? In school, we're taught about evolution, but the way it's taught, it can be easy to assume it's fact. However, it still has holes in it, things that can't be explained, and it can't be proven completely true or false, so it's a theory. So, why is it taught in a way that we assume it is fact? (Note that I'm focusing on macroevolution here, microevolution is a different topic.)
2. Are there any legitimate theories out there right now about the origin of life? As far as I understand, there have been some proposed theories that have been rejected by the scientific community. I also know about the Miller experiment, but that was also rejected because it was skewed to create favorable results. Is there any theory out there right now that is considered plausible by scientists?
