Evolution is a theory, based on the best scientific knowledge we now have ... maybe at some point some other evidence will be found that leads to a new or modified theory ... I can live with that level of unvertainty

A theory or evolutionary theory is the highest level of confidence science can get. A theory is a field of study and a body of knowledge enveloping a collection of facts, hypothesis, and natural laws. A theory is not just a hypotheses, it is made of facts. Evolution is both fact and theory.

It's disturbing how often I hear people say, "Evolution is just a theory."....

At which point, my own theories about them prove to be correct.

gravity is also a theory, now go jump out of that building and fly away =)

@Pedrohbds

Gravity is the example these same people use, as an attempt to further prove their point.

"Gravity is a LAW; evolution is just a theory."
