Re: possibly OT: NYT article on GA creationism/evolution debate



It's been a long time since I learned the official
heirarchy of terms like "theory", "law", and "hypothesis",
but I wish someone would come up with something
better than "theory". No matter how many times we
explain that is shouldn't carry a connotation of
uncertainty, it always does.

This is a curious statement. Could someone please give an example or two
of a "theory" which does not have an element of uncertainty.

I was wondering the same thing.
