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.
Hey, I'm a poli sci major, science is not my thing, so I'd appreciate it if you dropped the ad hominem. Why don't you explain, then, what a "theory" is in scientific contexts?

It is amusing that you claim that evolution is being used as a "political bludgeon"
From my experience, the whole of political secularism is predicated on the notion that they are intellectually superior to theists because science and evolution is on their side, so they are quite clearly using it as a political bludgeon.

If you disapprove of some theists doing the same, don't indulge in it, it's that simple.
