Idiot America is infested with full-of-crap god-soaked fucktards.

"militant atheism"

There is nothing militant about accepting reality.

"We are nowhere close to fully understanding evolution or what causes it but you tout it as settled science."

That's totally wrong. There will always be research opportunities in biology but biologists understand in extreme detail how evolution works and what causes it.

What makes evolution the strongest fact of science is evidence. Evolution has tons of it. If you didn't know this that's not my problem.

Big bang - some priest. So what? When religious scientists discover something it's not because of their religious fantasies.

"religion & science are perfectly compatible"

Nonsense. Religious fantasies like the magical resurrection of a decomposing preacher man requires throwing out virtually all of science. Religions seek the answer to why but it has never found any answers. Religions are totally worthless. They contribute nothing human progress. They just get in the way.

At the same website there was another person who actually has a brain. LESLIE KELLER

She wrote this for 3 god-soaked morons who said evolution is just a theory.

Science is an exercise in inductive reasoning. The premises are observations of nature and the particular phenomena under study, and then mathematical analysis, inference, and hypothesis generation, with more observations are made to test those inferences and hypotheses in a continuous cycle.

Evidence then accumulates in favor of:
"facts" - which could be said to be verified observations and data
"laws" - relationships observed to exist in a particular way in nature

"hypotheses" - proposed explanations for observed phenomena

and finally "theories" - the 'big ideas' that wrap all of those other things up into a coherent framework for a set of related observations and phenomena

What each of you seemed to miss is that none of those words include certainty or truth as part of their definitions. That is because all scientific knowledge is provisional, even things we otherwise consider to be facts. There are no "immutable facts" in science.
