Quote by: Caduceus All I ask is that people be reminded that evolution is a theory, not an empirical fact, and that they stop using it as a political bludgeon against theists. |
All I ask is that those who continue to repeat the "only a theory" mantra, either learn the meaning of the word "theory" in a scientic context, or failing that, take a flying leap from a tall building in order to test gravity, which is after all, "only a theory" just like evolution.
Most theists are not hostile to science. It is amusing that you claim that evolution is being used as a "political bludgeon". It appears that the fundamentalists, still a minority among theists, are trying to use their current political clout as a bludgeon against the rest of use who do not share their anti-science bias.
