61. There is one step past a theory
that would be a proven fact. The fact the some people believe one way or another shows that the theory has not been proven. In the grand scheme of things evolution is far more believable than ID. It is because we can see how evolution works. Like the flightless cormorant, it even works in what would appear to be reverse. The bird has no need to fly therefore it has no need for wings and over several generations will lose them, or they may just evolve into arms. I think its amazing how a one celled organism over millions of years evolved into everything we see around us. Maybe one day they will find the "missing link" and put the whole debate to rest. I know they are still looking for it. But until something is proven no matter how much math or science supports it, it is still a theory. Not a fact. No matter how much we wish it to be.
Thank you to everyone who gave perspective from a scientific point of view, they were insightful, forward thinking and helpful.
I didn't say I didn't believe in evolution, I just said it wasn't provable, yet.
