Well, I sure made no pretense of where I was coming from by sending him to Creation Science Evangelisms website. So I feel like there was no CORRECTION of my post needed (you just wanted to vent). He said he wanted both sides, I can only give him one, from my perspective. He's getting plenty of other perspectives so I'm not sure what your so worried about. I mean he's probably being taught your evolution religion in the public indoctrination center where he goes to school anyways.

I believe that years from now the evolution THEORY will be proven to be the greatest hoax ever propagated.

And look, evolution is JUST a theory, but they teach it as BIBLE truth (just ask any kindergartner "when did dinosaurs live?", and watch their eyes glaze over as they say "millions and millions of years ago").

The fact is that you weren't there millions and millions of years ago, and I wasn't there 6,000+ years ago at creation, and you cannot give me ANY empirical, scientific evidence either way. A leap to either conclusion is a leap of FAITH.

And I will not make any pretense where I am coming from, I believe by faith the Bible and am a follower of Christ.

This post really makes me appreciate people like Dylan =P

It would be nice to remind people that the word "theory" doesn't mean "unsupported hypothesis".

[Octopod]

Exactly. I think a lot of people misunderstand what exactly a theory is.

Exactly. I think a lot of people misunderstand what exactly a theory is.

That's due to the fact that we overload the word in english. When talking about science it's something that has been backed up with testable evidence but it might not be the actual way something works; like how we found that General Relativity as a more correct descriptor of gravity than Newton's Law of Gravitation. But when used in daily conversation it's an untested hypothesis. "My theory is that the reason that Racketboy is so popular is that Ack is so so sexy."

I thought that was an axiom.

No. An axiom is something accepted to be self-evident, or taken to be true, but that can't be derived or proven. I'm really not sure that it's used too much outside of mathematics. Portions of the definition really only make sense in mathematics.

I think you missed the joke, Lime.

At this point, it's a theorem.

I think you're right. It's not the first time, and I don't think it will be the last.

Ya know I think you're pretty great Lime, but do you ever think you're one of the guys that are always waiting to respond, and not waiting to listen? Not a judgment, just an observation.
