People shouldn't throw around words that aren't taught to them correctly. A theory has been tested and widely accepted. That's why you have the theory of gravity, not the law of gravity. We all know that gravity is real, and exists. Everyone and everything is subject to gravity every single day, but no one calls it the law of gravity. It's widely accepted and tested as a theory. Gravity is a fact of life, but it isn't called the fact of gravity. In high school, we were taught that a theory is essentially a stronger version of a hypothesis. I found it to be bullshit that high school was teaching kids the incorrect material, and I'm glad that a higher education institution taught science correctly.

Either way its a theory which means it is not a fact. Fact and theory are two completely different things, don't matter how credible the theory is.

I don't think you understand the nuances of science. In the English, language, yes, you may be right. May. However, tell me this. Here is a hypothesis. Throw an object in the air. I hypothesize that it will fall back down to the ground at a rate of 9.8 m/s. Evolution is a mechanism for natural selection, along with Genetic Drift, Gene Flow, and a few environmental factors such as what food is readily available, what color the environment is, and many other things. If Evolution was fake, we wouldn't have some form of relation with chimpanzees due to an earlier ancestor that we branched off from. Gravity is a fact of life, as is evolution. However, both are theories. It matters how credible a theory is. We have theories such as the theory of relativity, string theory, and the theory of everything. These are all credible, widely accepted, and some aren't even well studied such as the string theory, because of how complicated it is. Physics is built off of theory, yet everyone experiences physics on a daily basis. That is a fact of life. You really shouldn't use the words "theory" and "fact" together unless you really know what you're talking about. You don't know what you're talking about, and I'm simply trying to educate you on it. High schools do NOT teach correctly. They scratch the surface, and leave out so many things, that high school education (At least in America) is a joke. High school teaches what a theory was from a while back, but like the collective species of Earth, education has evolved (Other than Chemistry. Chemistry hasn't really changed ever since my dad got a degree. I'm still learning what he learned) and taken new meanings. High schools tend to teach things that are outdated and have outdated books just to save money. The schools below college should really just switch over to open source since that always changes with every new discovery. tl;dr: High school isn't teaching you correctly. I'm a science major, and have studied this extensively. I [u]know[/u] what I'm talking about.

Look bro I didn't even read your long ass post and am not going to. I'm not saying evolution is not true so why are you getting so butt hurt. What I said is true and you have no argument. My post was in respons to the op first sentance "evolution is a fact" that is false.

Hoo, then if you don't think that evolution is true because it's not a law of science, then you must automatically assume that gravity isn't true. I'm not butthurt, but I laugh at people who are ignorant and think that they know more than people who actually study this on a daily basis. So, based off of what you just said in this post, you think that evolution doesn't exist because it's not a law. Therefore, because of that, I automatically assume that you don't think that gravity also doesn't exist because gravity is not a law. If you didn't even read the tl;dr which is only 3 sentences long, then you aren't worth my time if your ignorance is making you avoid learning past the middle school science level.

Dude as I said before I never said its not true just not a fact. Obivously you need to look up the definition of theory. Also look up law of gravity because some aspects of gravity are considered laws.

Gravity is a theory as a whole. It's described in much detail in Einstein's theory of relativity. Again, I [u]know[/u] what I'm talking about. I have a degree in biology, and recently got a minor in Chemistry with a bit of emphasis in Physics. I'm not going to waste my time on someone who doesn't think Evolution is true just because it's a theory. Seriously, if a scientist is telling you how science works and you claim that middle school science terms are more accurate than actual science terms, then there is something definitely wrong with the education you received. I study science on a daily basis. Here, let me add emphasis on this tl;dr: [b][u][i]I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT[/i][/u][/b]. This will be my last reply to you because I don't want to be an asshole to a child.

You didn't read the OP. Did you?

Don't want to read your book after first 3 words said evolution if a fact

Yes finally someone who gets why saying evolution is a fact is wrong
