Theories Aren’t Bare Facts
Editor, Times-Dispatch: In his letter, “Evolution Isn’t Fact—Don’t Present as Such,“ Ron Ellyson is absolutely correct in stating that the theory of evolution is not fact. In science, theories are not facts, nor do they ever become facts. Theories explain facts. They are not hunches or speculation; they are the method by which science explains observable laws and phenomena. Theories are not concrete, they are fluid and ever-changing.
