Or has access to info you aren't jet aware of. By the way the idea
that evolution is only a theory is somewhat hard to hold in light
of the many bacterialogical studies that demonstrate the evolution
and adaptation of organism. Selective breeding (of dogs, cats, hoorses,
etc.) is really also a demonstration of (controled) evolution in action.
The problem seems to occur when we try to take the proven fact of
evolution and apply it to historical instances where the record is
incomplete or where our personal egos/biases are on the line.
