davidcasemore - what is a hypothesis? Check out the definition - you can even google it. What is the scientific method? You can google that also. Apparently you don't know. There are four steps unfortunately for you evolution fails on the third - to test your results, to prove it. When your hypothesis can not be proven than you reevaluate your hypothesis and do step three over again. But I'll save you the time from having to google the scientific method and copy the link and I'll also C&P the text. You shouldn't have a problem this isn't from some right wing conspirators site, or from fanatical religious site, or even the dreaded and hated Fox News this is from the CDC. Check out the word that is used in step 2 and educated guess but go on to the 3rd step.

[Link: cdc.gov]

1. Name the problem or question

2. Form an educated guess (hypothesis)of the cause of the problem and make predictions based upon the hypothesis

3. Test your hypothesis by doing an experiment or study (with proper controls)

4. Check and interpret your results

Can evolution pass this one NO IT CAN NOT therefore you co back to step 2 and it stays a theory and only a theory until it can pass step 3 per the scintific method. This bring me back to my other post since God can not be proven by the scientific method according to you he does not exist than we can also extrapolate that evolution - life coming from lower forms of life or arising form the primordial stew - does not exist. Just using your reasoning.
