The debate over the semantics of evolution is time-consuming and wasteful.
The conservative Christians want it presented as a theory? Fine.
That's what it is. The problem stems from a confusion between the words theory and hypothesis.
A theory is something that has held up to repeated testing, such as the theory of gravity. A hypothesis is just an idea with no proof backing it.
It seems that conservative Christians think that evolution is a hypothesis.
