Isn't "Theory" just another form of "philosophy"? A theory by it's very nature is something unproven. If it was proven it would be scientific fact. So, to exclude all "philosphical" elements out of a scientific curriculum would necessitate the removal of theoretical science as well, wouldn't it?
Not to mention the theory of evolution can not be tested by empirical means, which is the basis of science, period.
You are right and wrong. Scientific theories are never proven correct. Attempts to disprove them that fail support the theory, but do not prove them. Scientific facts are observations used to build scientific theories. Scientific theories, by defintion, are not facts. If IDer's want any theory not proven as fact, then you are right. All of science must be deleted from education.
