Everyone always brings up the "it's just a theory" argument, when the term isn't being used how you think it is. In science, a theory is an analytic structure designed to explain a set of empirical observations. It isn't guesswork.
Hmm, then there laws. Gravity is a law but is explained through theories.
Quote:
A law is a statement or principle that 'describes' a phenomenon
Theories are coherent, well-substantiated explanations.

Really wishing I did not drop out of my first college now. But on that topic, I took a senior level course on evolution during my freshmen year. I did horribly (take the required prerequisites kids) but I did learn that evolution is anything but random. You would not believe the insane amount of math behind something like getting a chicken.
I have no problem with believing what you want to believe...until it goes against something that can be proved. Like how during the middle ages it was agreed upon that the world was flat, mice were born from dirt, the sun revolves around the earth, etc. Evolution is a little harder to explain. You can't just point and say "look, there it is."
