Yes, I do use various Dictionaries, Thesaurus', History, and Science books on a regular basis. I have studied Evolution and Creation now for 40 years and I will tell you I have an open mind. I understand how science defines the term, "theory." I will not agree with that assessment however. A fact is never a theory, so why use theory in place of fact? Most evolutionists I have dealt with are not so familiar with the opposite side of the debate. Most have not really done their homework exploring the other side of the coin. For instance, a full investigation of the internal evidences in the Bible that support God and creation. And I do not mean just a quick glance. If evolution is studied, it is not done so at a glance as I'm sure you know. And then the external evidences in support of creation, which is also vast and profound. I do not know if you have truly immersed yourself in the Word of God or not. If not, I would hope that you would do so. I hope you are not wrestling in this arena without the proper headgear. My prayers are with you. Gary Gary I appreciate your comments and observations.

Folks, evolution has been a theory for about 150 years now. What is the hold up? When will this theory be transformed into fact? This will never happen because evolution is the product of the imagination of rebellious and prideful human beings. Some things never change." If you have to look "theory" up in a dictionary, rather than referring to a science text or looking for other sources to back your assertion up, I can't say that you're argument is credible. A "theory" is something that has been observed, can make predictions about the future, but still can be falsified if the evidence fails to match the theory. It is not opposed to "fact" either, i.e. you observe a coin fall to the ground (fact). The theories that explain what happened are gravity and relativity. People love to throw around the term "theory" and it's come to mean "opinion" in common usage, but in science it is something far more precise and that has proven to be true often enough to be considered solid. In fact, evolution is no longer a theory as much as a fact; we know evolution occurs, and there are many theories that explain how it may proceed. I obviously am not going to be able to convince you evolution is a reality in a simple comment to a blog post, but I would suggest that you actually research your claims, pick up some books about evolution, and learn about the science before putting out an unsubstantiated and unresearched opinion. “So after all is said and done a theory is a well-substantiated explanation that is not yet verified!
