Okay ... thank you!I've never seen a model of science where theory proceeds facts.

Why? I'm going to try to be a veterinarian, not a master of evolution.
I don't believe any part of that nonsense. God created us and all the animals on this planet.

In ten years I would love to hear how creationism explains the things that you learned.

You are heavily misguided. A theory must be tested or simulated. A whole fact always surpasses a theory but a theory must be based from the fragments of facts.
You have hypothesis, theory then fact.
I honestly didn't come here to argue, just to add my little comment. You can bicker amongst yourselves about how dumb you think I am and what not like you people do, but I'll be going now. Goodbye!
(I hope you people can see one day how big a lie evolution is though.)

I've never seen a model of science where theory proceeds facts. I mean, you can use a theory to generate a new hypothesis, and then experimentally test that hypothesis to establish facts, but theory as a starting point is completely alien to me.
Within biology, we normally consider a theory to be a set of observations and the framework for making sense of those observations. Another way to think about it is as a hypothesis that's withstood the test of time. That said, every theory should be potentially falsifiable. If it's not, then you're not doing science.
Immaculate, care to comment on this:
... in view of you having said this?
What sort of biology have you been teaching?
A hypothesis is an assumption with no proven evidence for it, a theory has basic factual information to provide its plausibility, then a fact is a confirmed piece of information.
Microbiology, introductory biology, and a bit of genetics.
We're mostly in agreement on this part. I'm not sure I would say a theory ever becomes a fact in the sense that it isn't open to discussion or being falsified though.
Always thought the public schools should teach more genetics. Gotta be more informative then cutting up frogs.
Dissection is pretty important, but I gotta agree with you that more genetics in high school would be great.
Always thought the public schools should teach more genetics.
Just never thought of theories as true or false, more like, valid or it's not. It either unifies the facts or it doesn't.
Which is why I will never tell anyone on here where I go to school (since you people want to stick your nose in everything). My teacher taught us evolution, but said she didn't believe in it, and said she wasn't forcing us to believe anything, but that she just didn't believe it was true. I would say 9/10 teachers at our school are Christians.
What does that have to do with a song?

A theory cannot be a theory if it proceeds fact. That is an illogical absurdity. I hope I am not stating common usage though.
Your made up stories are not the truth.No more than teaching the truth.
Truth is not a religion. We are not talking some doctrine from the church of England here. But why even talk about what the bill of rights or constitution were meant to say? That is a bit like folks on the Titanic getting together to study the schematics of the ship's hull after it was sinking. They tossed the bible and constitution etc out already. They ought to toss out the NSA and IRS!
So called science and evolution from the pond is religio-centric. It's not science. It's fable.
We have seen in our time the emergance of a science, it's called genetics. Fifty years it really didn't have the status of being a 'real science'. It wasn't until the DNA double heliex model showed the parts and the functions it was accepted.
I think genetics deserves a lot more attention is all. There is some pretty fascinating history going on there that happened in our time.
