I'll allow the disclaimer in bio texts the day the bible states just before Genesis 1:1, "This book contains a bunch of fictional parables and symbolic stories handed down over the millenia. Nothing in this book is intended to be truthful or accepted as fact. Please read it with the understanding that it contains mostly superstition and impossibilities. Create and foster your fantasies at your own risk."
Ok, maybe not so hyperbolic, but maybe... just maybe, you get my point. But I'm sure not.

Or, how's this for a disclaimer to the disclaimer:
Scientific theory should not be confused with fable or conjecture. For an example of a belief system that does not rise to the status of a scientific theory, take any religion. At bottom it is a superstition which postulates that sheer magic or unobservable beings somehow are more responsible for the operation of the world than predictable cause-and-effect relations. Such a notion takes the idea that stepping on a sidewalk crack will eventually somehow break your mother's back and extends it to the history of the universe.
