Oh come on, you could drive a truck through evolution's holes. They teach it like the gospel truth, rather than scientific theory. Thats my only objection.

Be my guest. Take your best shot. Your Nobel Prize awaits.

They teach the theory of evolution as, well, a theory. That's why its called the theory of evolution.

What holes? I can almost guarrantee you that any so-called holes you come up with will be nothing more than an indication of your lack of knowledge on the subject at hand and can quickly be shown to be non-existent.

So, my challenge to you: give this your best shot; you might actually learn some real science before this day is out.

There are hundreds of theories taught in the typical biology textbook and curricula, the vast majority of which are taught entirely "matter of factly" and aren't even identified as "theories". Evolution is always among the few, if not the only, theory that is so identified, and it is invariably, and by far, the least dogmatically presented.

So how can this be your "only objection" when every other theory is taught far more dogmatically? Why don't you guys ever object to the theory of photosynthesis (for instance) being taught "as fact"?

The pretense that this is a matter for principle with antievolutionists is pointless. We all know it's special pleading, and for the fact of the matter, so do you.

Feel free to produce said truck here. I am all eyes.

Yes, like they teach that silly "Gravity" thing -- the Theory not the experience. Do you also object to chemistry and physics?
