What I find interesting is that many who subscribe to the theory of evolution claim that, 'it isn't just another scientific theory;' until, you know, it becomes convenient for it to be one.

But evolution is 'just another scientific theory', like the special and general theories of relativity, the theory of electromagnetism, quantum theory, atomic theory, the thermodynamic theory of heat, kinetic theory, and the theory of fluid dynamics. Evolution isn't a religion or a metaphysic, a moral code or a political programme; it is a scientific theory and nothing more. What did you expect it to be?

Sort of like the fossil record and macroevolution claims?

How do you explain the fossil record? This is not a rhetorical question; I want you to answer it in as much detail as possible.

Not to mention Phlogiston theory, Caloric theory, spontaneous generation, emitter theory ...

It is all fluff and nonsense.

How do you figure that ,since you use and test gravity every day ,every time you lift your foot from the surface to walk ? That’s the theory of gravity that you’re using. At your age you’ve probably gotten a polio shot . Which originally worked on natural selection giving you a weakened version of the virus . That’s evolution! Your computer or phone works on electricity. That using electromagnetic theory . You probably know someone with either diabetes or a heart condition . The cause and a treatment for diabetes was discovered in dogs and open heart surgical techniques were originally done in dogs . Evolution again and this time common descent! So you can call it stuff and nonsense if you want ( to use the correct expression) . It just means you’re in denial. The one you think is a river in Egypt

Boy , you did not just go there! What these have in common is that they are all DISCARDED former theories. They either have no evidence for them or the evidence refuted them. Just like separate creation and a young earth are DISCARDED theories!

What is emitter theory?

And the theory of evolution would become one of those, if you could come up with evidence against it. Got any?

Nice try, but of course I wasn't talking about gravity but about evolution. You may enjoy science but perhaps you need to retake Reading 101.

Maybe you need to read the rest of the post . I listed some Medical breakthroughs that were only possible once we understood evolution. Maybe you need to learn middle school science

You ended with, "Evolution isn't a religion or a metaphysic, a moral code or a political programme; it is a scientific theory and nothing more. What did you expect it to be?" Which is what I responded to. If you didn't want an answer to your question then you shouldn't have asked it. :doh:
