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.

Theory: a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained. It does not what you think it means, but that's pretty common misinterpretation of what Theory means.

@Northwest um is Theory intentionally capitialzed in the context you speak off in order to distinguish it from the other type of theory?

@Jm31xxx There's only one definition of theory. It's the misuse that's an issue. It is capitalized, because it's the first word.
