Can you come up with one peer-rewiewed article in a scientific journal that refers to evolution as fact rather than theory? I am still under the impression that the term "Theory of Evolution" means what it says, and that Scientific writers whose reputations hinge on the accuracy of their words hold fast to keeping that term "Theory" in there, regardless of their beliefs.

I do not think his statement is innacurate even given the lack of anti-evolution articles you seem to require, notwithstanding that you might even agree with me that finding such articles in the venue you discribe would be a lot like finding pro-abortion articles in Official Catholic publications. It ain't gonna happen

You obviously have little idea of what the term "theory" means in science. It has little relation to the term as it is used in every day speech. In science a theory is as close to an absolute as one is likely to get; it is a system supported by observation and experimentation upon which scientists can rely to make predictions. For this reason, Relativity is "only a theory" even though its basic tenets have been confirmed through observation and experimentation. The closest scientific term to the layman's "theory" is "hypothesis." Evolution is a theory and not a hypothesis.
