technically if it's proven it's not a theory anymore, it's a law.
i'm not trying to call you out, though. my only contribution to evolution debate these days is an effort to make sure we're all using the correct terminology and concepts. because i feel like the reason we've got 24% of people disbelieving in evolution is because they don't properly comprehend natural selection and what the theory actually states. so you've got people who don't get it, and in their confusion they wholesale reject it.
i feel like we've gone way past the point where we can provide these people with adequate clarification, but if we're going to make any progress at all that's the only way we'll get there.
