Evolution like so many other words has more then one meaning.

strict biological definition: change in allele frequencies over time
by this definition, evolution is a indisputable fact.

now evolution ofcourse has many different aspects to it....Many people associate the word "evolution" mainly with common descent, the theory that all life came from one common ancestor. This is just a fraction of the theory in which there are several different theories as well.

No shit evolution is a theory we all know this, but what you are insinuating is completely wrong.

theory: (in scientific sense) is a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena. Wheres the lack of certainty in this definition? THe difference between laws and theories is that only laws can be expressed more tersely. Being a theory imples self-consistency agreement with observations, and usefulness.

Now creationism........does creationists make a specific claim about what we would expect to find in creationism? NOT even themselves call their little story a "Theory"

Has anything in the real world ever been prooved? Can you define the universe you operate in? The more evidence with have on something the more certainity we have.

Does evolution have evidence? does Creationism?

evolution has genetics, anatomy, ecology, psychology, and paleontology where as creationism has the BIBLE.

Adress the evidence...show us that your evidence is better or fits another theory.
