The definition of a theory is a “guess or conjecture”. This means that it has not been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be fact.

You’ve probably been corrected on this already but theory has a very different meaning when used in a scientific context. And this is the sense on which ‘the theory of evolution’ should be understood:

merriam-webster

5. a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena

So the theory of evolution is a theory, *and* the massive weight of evidence in its favour has established its truth beyond reasonable doubt.

It’s important to notice that creationism/ID is not even a theory in this sense. It’s a hypothesis, unsupported by evidence.

but how do you explain the silence of the stars?

They’re pretty far away. Plus I’ve heard that sound doesn’t carry well in a vacuum. If you want to hear the stars, try travelling closer to them and filling the surrounding space with some sort of matter that sound waves can pass through. But make sure it’s something inflammable, or else I might be asked to explain this again.

your faith is far greater than mine or my math is wrong

Well, since I have no faith, I’m going to guess it’s the second. In fact, you didn’t even provide any math, so that’s kind of a tautology, isn’t it?

AND ABSOLUTELY WORST OF ALL HOW DARE THEY CHANGE THEIR THEORIES WHEN THEY FIND MORE EVIDENCE! THEY SHOULD GET IT PERFECTLY RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! THEY SHOULD KEEP THEIR EXPLANATIONS EXACTLY THE SAME FOR ALL TIME! THAT’S THE WAY THE BIBLE DOES IT!

CHANGE CONFUSES PEOPLE WHO WANT EVERYTHING TO FIT NEATLY INTO A SINGLE BOOK! IT’S ONLY REASONABLE TO WANT THE SAME EXPLANATIONS FOR THINGS THAT WE’VE HAD FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS! STUPID STUPID SCIENTISTS!

Oh and by the way scientists, thank you for the longer lives, the fewer diseases, the better food, the cleaner water, the better clothes, the better shelter, the more easily available information, the remarkable technology including this computer, and so very much more.

BUT DON’T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT YOUR SPECTACULAR SUCCESS IN ALL THAT IS GOING TO MAKE US BELIEVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE LITERAL WORD OF THE BIBLE! STUPID, DIRTY ROTTEN SCIENTISTS! NOW GET BACK TO WORK AND MAKE US MORE COOL STUFF BUT DON’T DO IT BY LOOKING AT THE WORLD AROUND YOU! DO IT ONLY FROM LOOKING AT THE BIBLE!

.

That, globalizati, is non-fuzzy satire.

NOTICE HOW FROM 1779 TO 1786, THEY WENT FROM
78,000 TO 1,000,000 YEARS. AND PEOPLE BELIEVED IT!

THEN HUTTON, A WORLD RENOWNED THINKER (WHO HATED THE BIBLE) SAYS WITH NO BASIS THAT
THE WORLD WAS…QUOTE “PERHAPS ETERNAL”

THEN CHARLES LYELL(WHOSE WRITINGS DRIP WITH HATE OF THE BIBLE OFF THE PAGES) CREATED THE GEOLOGIC
COLUMN…THAT ISN’T EVEN REAL(DOESNT EXIST!!!!)BUT THE AVERAGE PERSON ACCEPTED HIS WRITINGS AS FACT CAUSE 95% OF THE POPULATION WAS NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH TO KNOW ANY BETTER.

THEN CHARLES DARWIN MADE MOST BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH GO-ERS DOUBT THE BIBLE TIMELINE. AND MOST OF HIS WRITINGS TODAY HAVE ALL BEEN PROVEN FALSE.

TODAYS’ METHODS OF DATING THE AGES OF THINGS HAVE MANY FLAWS AND ARE BASED ON THE GEOLOGIC COLUMN WHICH IS NOT EVEN REAL!!!!!

YOU CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT…..BUT THINGS ARE NOT AS OLD AS THEY SAY THEY ARE. THERE IS NO PROOF FOR THESE AGES. ALL TEACHERS/SCIENTISTS/COLLEGE PROFESSORS/RESEARCHERS THAT ARE PAID BY OUR TAX DOLLARS(NOT PRIVATE DOLLARS) WOULD BE FIRED IF THEY SAID THE EARTH WAS 1000′S NOT MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD.

Mr. Ray

LASTLY EARNST HAECKEL FAKED EMBRYO DRAWINGS(SEE BELOW) AND PEOPLE BELIEVED IT…. LEADING TO THE THOUGHT WE ALL CAME FROM ONE ORIGINAL ORGANISM. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS CONVICTED…HIS DRAWINGS ARE STILL IN TEXT BOOKS TODAY!

When scientist move from microevo to macro they just left science and moved to faith for no one has ever seen one kind change to another.

Seriously though, I am glad to have you here. Do stick around and continue posting because your view seems very open-minded and potentually helpful.
