<p>That’s entirely completely hogwash. Evolution is one of the most tested theories in scientific history.</p>
<p>You don’t even understand the meaning of the word “theory.”</p>
<p>Evolution is a fact. Living things evolve and change over time. That is proven beyond all reasonable doubt. The “theory of evolution” is the theoretical scientific explanation for why and how living things evolve, and it has been shaped over more than a century of scientific research.</p>
<p>The theory of evolution is one of the most “complete” scientific theories ever proposed, because it manages to unify so much that we already know, and fits with everything we keep discovering - the fossil record, genetic transmission of data, DNA mutations, adaptations, speciation, observed small-scale evolution, etc.</p>
<p>There is no “scientific theory” that the Earth and its inhabitants were “formed” 6,000 years ago. There’s not a single shred of scientific evidence to support that. Everything we know contradicts it, in fact. The Earth is not 6,000 years old, it’s billions of years old. You want to learn what your religion believes, fine, but don’t expect to be taught it in a science classroom.</p>
