Ammunition vs. Creationism

Good post on daily Kos about the theory of evolution. Here's a quick snippet:

The terms "theory" and "fact" have very precise and rigid definitions in philosophy of science. That is why scientists tend not to talk about Fact of Evolution, but instead of Theory of Evolution. The common non-technical understanding of the word "theory" misleads people to think that there is something unproven about it.

There are millions of technical papers in biology, tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands of technical books in biology - every one of them contributes to understanding of evolution, and not a single one of them makes any sense except in the context of evolution. NOTHING in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.

Theory of Evolution of all Life on Earth from a Single Common Ancestor (as opposed to being designed) is as strong as Theory that Earth is Round (as opposed to flat), or Theory of Heliocentrism that posits that Earth revolves around the Sun (and not vice versa), or Theory that Sun is not the Center of the Universe.

Theory of Evolution is STRONGER than The Big Bang Theory, or General Theory of Relativity, or Plate Tectonics Theory, or Theory that DNA Replication is the Mechanism of Inheritance. And it is MUCH stronger than Theory of Superstrings, or anything that Freud came up with.
