Quote of the day:

"A certain school of thought likes to argue that evolution is a “theory,” not a fact. I myself like to blame this half-digested use of the word theory on Homer Simpson, who years ago stressed that communism worked “in theory.”

Of course, the theory of evolution is a convenient and descriptive rather than a specific handle. After all, a theory is an explanation for a set of phenomena that has been repeatedly tested and that can be used to make predictions about those phenomena.

That is exactly what sets a scientific theory apart from hypotheses, assumptions, speculations, educated guesses or hunches. Maybe an extra term at the Intelligent School of Design could help these folks to get the science thing straight."
