To avoid offending ignorant
people Gore pretended he didn't know if he believed in evolution.

Please supply some information that evolution is not a "theory".

thanks


Because it happens all the time and we can watch it occur whenever we
want, it's a fact not a theory. Extrapolating what's happening right
now back in time to before we were around to observe it is the theory
part. But in order for the theory not to be valid back then you have to
assuming that the rules which govern nature and physics changed at some
point to invalidate evolution. I guess if such a change in the rules
occured, it could have been by divine order, right?


It's a theory, Steve.

That's why it's called the Theory of Evolution.

See, that wasn't hard, was it?


You can call it whatever you want. Evolution is a fact, not a theory,
proven all the time. The "theory of evolution" to which you're
specifically referring is a tiny subset of the science of evolution. It
involves the origins of man and whether we evolved from other species
into homo sapiens vs. whether we were created by a higher power as a
species exactly as we are today, i.e., the "theory of creation."
