Yupp, and the conspiracy goes way back and covers all levels of society. Sometime during the night the evolution police will be visiting you. Say goodbye to your friends and family because you are about to be "disappeared".

So after all this will you now give us a set definition for "kind"?

Lots of words change their original meaning. Like neophyte means 'n00b' instead of 'new plant'

Yep, must be fundy. Too stupid to truly understand the beauty of the science, its complexity and its relentless logic, so, it must be a "pack of lies".
After all, his pastor told him!

Wut?
But even if that were true, that doesn't make evolution any less based in science.

You must abstain from using words you only vaguely comprehend.
It is not done in polite society. It annoys people.

Yeah, I'm sure that's what people who understand science works in the real world are trying to do. It's all about undermining God and making a degenerate race of humans engaging in orgies and drug abuse.
You keep believing that. *rolls eyes*

THEORY
1592, "conception, mental scheme," from L.L. theoria (Jerome), from Gk. theoria "contemplation, speculation, a looking at, things looked at," from theorein "to consider, speculate, look at," from theoros "spectator," from thea "a view" + horan "to see." Sense of "principles or methods of a science or art (rather than its practice)" is first recorded 1613. That of "an explanation based on observation and reasoning" is from 1638. The verb theorize is recorded from 1638.
Nope
nothing about "unproven hypothesis" there. And I thought a hypothesis by its nature was unproven - merely speculative..

And even if evolution was a guess or something "pretended" for sake of argument, what makes it any more ridiculous than the belief that there's an omnipotent, omnipresent dictator whose only concern is to damn the people he feels can't meet his expectations?

Fundtards don't will never understand what theory or hypothesis mean because it doesn't fit their worldview.

We have the theory. You have the myth. We win.

Funny, my dictionary calls the meaning of the root word "contemplation or speculation." I guess the conspiracy didn't reach all the dictionaries. Of course, it does say that the word has been around since the 16th century.

Gravity is just a theory, too. Now walk with me to that bridge and let me teach the controversy.

Yes, but the meaning of "pathetic" has changed over time too.

"This was never a proper definition of theory until the last 30 years or so."
WTF? The world wasn't around 30 years ago, fool! The world will be created 5 minutes in the future and I will have a built-in memory of writing this message.
