"I said I would let a few things roll off my back, Not that I would allow you to give me crap that has nothing to do with anything I'm talking about. I know that a computer isn't a theory, and your analogy is a very poor one! the theory of evolution. key word, THEORY! where in the world does it say the law of evolution? as far as me, my school, and the whole entire dang world are concerned, Evolution is a theory. a plausible one, but a theory nonetheless."
Amazing! I went to all the trouble to explain in great detail why the above is a completely wrong understanding of the word "theory" and you responded by re-stating your grade school misunderstanding as if no one explained anything to you.
I understand you are young kiddo but at some point you will have to quit using that as an excuse for poor reading comprehension.
"Theories" NEVER become LAWS. Your error here is that you are imagining the whole thing like a ladder with rungs labeled(from the bottom) "Wild guess!", "Theory", etc. all the way up to the top where the rungs are "Law", "absolute fact" etc.
THIS IS FALSE! A "theory" in science means "explanation of a fact or observed phenomena". A theory in science IS analogous to a manual on computer engineering and a "law" is simply observed behaviors and a "fact" would be analogous to a computer itself.
I understand that you are unaware of scientific definitions and are simply falling under a common misunderstanding of the term, hence your "The key word is THEORY..." nonsense where you presume your conclusion in a feat of circular reasoning.
But either go to a scientific site and read up or ask questions here and I will be happy to answer them for you. But cease this childish ranting because you are embarrassing yourself here.
"Theory" is not something that is lacking evidence to be a fact. It is an EXPLANATION OF A FACT. The 'how's' and 'why's'. We have the FACT of gravitation and the THEORY of special relativity AND the theory of gravitation to explain the force of gravity. We have the FACT of evolution and the THEORY of Natural Selection and the Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium that explains HOW organisms evolve and diversify.
