Quoting SirJosephPorter
In science, it refers to a set of scientific postulates which make predictions which can be tested experimentally, thereby giving evidence in support of the theory or disproving the theory.
Replicate macro-evolution. - Captain Morgan
Captain, you know macroevolution is very slow and cannot be observed in a lifetime. Macroevolution is a concept accepted by most biologists, it is only Creationists that have a problem with it (and not out of any scientific reasons, but because it goes against their interpretation of the Bible).
Employing your logic, the 'Theory of Creationism' has not be entirely disproven and has stood up to 'peer review' (peers being theologians)for thousands of years, can we assume that it is (essentially) fact?
Indeed we can captain. Creationism (it cannot be called a theory, it is a fact) is fact as far as religious right is concerned. It however, can never be a scientific theory. So I wouldn’t’ dignify it by calling it a theory, it is superstition (or a religious fact, if you will), rather than a theory.
'Til then, the theory of evolution a work-in-progress.
Indeed it is. Every theory is a work in progress. Every theory is continuously tested against experimental results, modified when it can, rejected when it must be. All of science is work in progress.
