Reply #2: I think the problem is how "theory" is defined [View All]

[spoony]

The creationists want it to be called theory as if that were some sort of mark against it, when in strict fact it is a theory. "Theory" is, as a DUer put it in another thread, the highest level of scientific knowledge.

edit: found the exact quote, from baldguy:

"A theory is a set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or natural phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena. Theories are the highest level of science."
