And yet creationists use these words to argue for equal time for "creation science" in schools and text books. Words mean things, but sometimes they mean more than one thing. And to regard the theory of evolution as "just" a theory requires a gross misunderstanding of the nature of knowledge and of the science from which we have all benefitted.
