I have to say I find the idea of achieving an 'unified' description of our provenance interesting, whether it is due to science or religion, we are here, but we aren't 'really' sure how it happened - yet????  |
Its not the same. Scientists offer explainations for unanswered questions. They look as the evidence and current knowledge and make a guess, a theory, but they never claim it is anything but a weak theory without any evidence.
Scientists make a distinction between theory and fact and all the degrees inbetween. They treat each with the required respect and attention.
