Is The Theory Of Evolution Anything More Than An Idea?

The word "Idea" defined.

Included in the definitions and usage are the words "conviction", "opinion" and "principle".

I have this "idea" (conviction, based on logic and principles -- ie., other ideas) that stealing is wrong. It's a conviction of mine, Just an idea, though. Other people are perfectly free to disagree, naturally.

And I have the "idea" (conviction, based on evidence and logic) that life has evolved over an extremely long period to produce the most wondrous living creatures, far beyond the imagination of intelligent design. Mostly by sheer luck as so few planets in the Universe have the right and stable conditions to nurture life. And I also have the "idea" (conviction, based on what other religious people have told me) that the Creation story as written in the Bible was written as an allegory and metaphor, something which the Vatican Church readily acknowledges today. People who believe the world was created relatively recently by an intelligent being in the space of 168 hours and hasn't really changed since -- I have the idea (opinion, based on logic) that these people are happy with their delusion.

Just ideas, though. Other people are perfectly free to disagree, naturally.
