Reply #156: There is no such thing as scientific fact.

[lateo]

Actually, there is a scientific definition of "fact" that does not rely on absolute truth.

All scientific facts are actually theories. However, all theories are not equal. Theories can range from the very very very certain (i.e. 'facts') to the very far-fetched (weak hypothesis).

The theory of evolution has its weak points. However, the intelligent design / creationists do not provide any scientific evidence to support their claims. They provide anecdotal evidence and conjecture which is not scientific. Therefore the theory of evolution is still the primarily accepted scientific theory about how life got to its current state.
