248. Evolution is not a theory. |

That evolution occurs is observable fact.
The popular belief that evolution is a "theory" is baloney. Natural selection is a common theory which explains evolution. It also happens to be a theory with some pretty solid evidence to back it up. You could come out with a theory that evolution is advanced via some sort of divine intervention, and that's fine... there just wouldn't be a whole lot of evidence to back you up.
As a hopefully eventual double biology/chemistry major, it irks me to no end to see evolution carelessly tossed aside and dismissed as mere "theory".
