Do you really think "universal gravitation" is as speculative as evolution?

So this is all a matter of degree? Both evolution and general relativity are the best explanations around for the subjects they deal with. Both may be abandoned sometime in the future due to paradigm shifts, who knows. Neither is perfect. But right now, they are the best we have.

Indeed. We call such explanations "theories". Evolution is a theory, and now this true statements will be stated in textbooks. What's the big deal?
