Each time it's mentioned I see a lot of people pointing out gleefully that "it's just a theory" and that The Bible is Fact. Isn't it about time Darwin's work was taught as scientific fact?

Well they are correct it is a theory, a scientific theory. Scientific theories are tantamount to fact.

I don't think anyone calls Darwin's findings a theory... they're facts. It's evolution theory that's the issue here. And no, I'd rather it's called a theory, just like any other scientific theory.
I just wish the fundies would learn the difference between theory and guess. That would clear a lot of confusion.

Dont desire clarification. Darwins progression ended along with his loss of life. New issues are being got here upon approximately evolution daily. case in point, evolutionary approaches might take in basic terms 3 or 4 generations to be performed, that's why there at the instant are not any "lacking links". This has been learnt from the evolution of the canine from the wolf, which exchange right into a case of human determination extremely than random determination. YEAH! ==================================== Addendum: this query exchange into not posed as a polemical difficulty yet some thing which mandatory clarification considering the fact that evolution is clinical and its opposite is subjectivism. subsequently, to furnish a subjectivist, polemical answer defeats the objective. =================================== sales area is trippy. I replied that. Darwin posed the basics and the small print are being worked out in container laboratories by way of learn. Human chosen evolution took the canine from the wolf in 3 or 4 generations, very virtually removing any transitional species. Get a clue. in case you dont comprehend Darwin, try using dialectical and historic materialism and it supply you greater clarity

No, I think it should still remain a theory.
People keep pointing of the fact that there's evidence to prove this theory as fact, but all the required evidence currently in textbooks is controversial and not up to scientific standards of evidence. However, the theory does seem very likely.
People get macro and mirco-evolution confused as well.
Micro-evolution is not a theory - it is proven.
Macro-evolution, however, is not proven and is still a theory (a good theory at that, though).

Darwin's work is a theory. Ask any scientist. I took an evolution class and the instructor who thoroughly believed it, still called it a theory. The findings that we evolve over time is not a theory, but the theory that we came from ancestral species is a theory as we can never prove it to be totally true.

it is. it is a scientific theory which is different from a regular theory. the scientific theory isnt a law because we only know whats happend here on earth. for all we know there could be life on another planet that formed differently. its like how the cell theory is still a theory because there could not be cells elsewhere where there is life. for something to be a law it has to be true throughout the entire universe. for instance newtons universal law of gravitation. btw laws are also statements not processes, theories are processes.

Darwin made some very important observations that have been shown to be true. However his inferences and the origins debate as a whole are nowhere near fact status and will remain a hypothesis for quite some time.

You can call Darwin's findings a theory but add false on it to make it false theory
The woks of Darwin is scientific imagination. Why? He is still out of this world when man was created by God.
God has no beginning and no ending. but Darwin was only born yesterday and died yesterday.

Isn't it about time people actually read Mr. Darwins book?
They will see, even Charles admitted that there is not 100% proof evolution is true, therefore it's a theory.
(I'm NOT saying the Bible has 100% proof that it's true, by the way.)

No. It is a Scientific Theory. It isn't up to science to prevent others inabilities to understand. Scientific Theory works like a Law but is more complex.
