Why do people always forget the word 'theory' in the theory of evolution? [Spirituality & Religion]

Its just a theory. I'll pass no commentary on its validity, just pointing that out.

“Just a theory” 🤦‍♂️

There is nowhere higher to get to in the epistemological ladder of science. Don’t mistake the meaning a scientific theory for its casual language definition. To be considered a scientific theory requires far more than the casually vague possibility implied by your language.

On top of this, the theory of evolution is probably the best-supported theory in all of sciences. Up there with heliocentrism.
