Re: Getting on Topic
ICANT,
So why is it called the Theory of Evolution then?
Because it is about evolution, just not every kind of evolution that can conceivably happen. As evidenced by the FACT that when you pick up a biology textbook that talks about evolution it talks about biological evolution. Pick up a book on stars & it will talk about stellar evolution.
It gives credit to peoples intelligence that when biology is on the table, we won't be talking about stellar evolution, but biological evolution. & dropping "biological" to get the "theory of evolution" should be a safe bet to normal people. No?

There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those that understand binary, & those that don't
