What is a theory in biology?

EvC Forum: should creationism be taught in schools?

what can be predicted is that change will continue to occur within the human genomethis change is most notable in the new resistance to new diseases and the like, but that does not rule out continued evolution for {women especially} to have less hair on their bodies and the like.what cannot be predicted is what selection mechanisms will operate to filter the range of variation within a population. this is the chaotic element that rules out fortune telling predictionswe can't predict the weather a week in advance and you want predictions of what humans will be like in a hundred years?the only thing you can say with some assurance is that it will be different.

excellent point.the other side of this issue is that predictions made by scientific theories are usually developed to differentiate one theory from another or in some way {validate or falsify} the theory, and not to amuse anyone. thus they tend to be rather mundane. but gooood mundane.
