Don't confuse this with me saying "evolution is false." I can never truly say evolution is false. I am saying, however, that since the process of evolution happens over millions of years, how do we observe it? I'm pretty sure we can't... and observation plays a fundamental role in the scientific method... so I'm left unconvinced.
Either you are reading my posts or you aren't. Theories are most often never proven in science. Most often they are disproven. If they cannot be disproven, they are considered, essentially, fact. Again, think of the scientific meaning vs. the layperson meaning.

I'm more creationist, and I can say, right here and now, that 'theory' doesn't necessarily mean ''guess".
I didn't say you said that. I am saying there are creationists who use this "loophole" to make an argument that is based on, basically, a falsehood.
