	In Response To: more on social darwinism (MrHen) : Eh... you have a point. I would propose that until a theory has been : universally accepted then you need to call people who believe in it : something. I, for instance, am Creationist. I could also be an : Evolutionist. Everyone sane believes in the Theory of Gravity so there : isn't any point slapping a label on it. You're missing the key issue here. Evolution is understood on the same level as Relativity is. It has an abundance of evidence to support it. The only reason there are fewer people who believe that Relativity is a false theory of the gravitational force (aside from those who base this opinion on the fact that it can't be all right, what with the whole quantum mechanics incompatibility), is that there isn't as much misinformation being spread about it. Most people who dismiss evolution as "just a theory", or whatever, basically don't understand it. Mostly they only dismiss it because that's what they've been told to think, and haven't reached the point where they question what they've been taught. I don't mind slapping stickers in books explaining that science is about questioning received wisdom, as this is absolutely right. The problem arises when you equate "questioning" with "dismissal", and think that the same shouldn't apply to matters of faith. - Reiginko
