Until this very day scientists have not been able to prove with any type of certainty that evolution is what got us from ape to human, even though that's exactly what they're pitching. And to be honest, there are plenty of non Christians that don't believe in evolution for that very reason. A theory is a theory. |
Theory (the scientific word) bears very little relvance to the word theory, as it is used colloquially. The difference between a theory and a law, in scientific terms, has nothing to do with how confident we are that it is true. The site below can explain it better than me, but the tl;dr version is that every time someone says the theory of evolution is just a theory, and tries to use that to imply there is doubt, a sicentist turns in his grave.
