Because it is also a scientific theory.
How does natural selection explain the creation of life?
You are of course welcomed to your opinion -- and "yes" I am "over that"in fact I welcome it.
Good point. And in the "long term evolution experiment" they discovered that after 75,000 generations of "evolution" - observed in real time... bacteria remained .... wait for it... "bacteria".
E. coli long-term evolution experiment - Wikipedia.
Evolution in real time.
it's been many times more then 75k generations since mammals split from reptiles, and were still wait...for it mammals.

I don't hink the problem is cladistics. I think the problem is Linnaean classification.And we always will be. Just like we always will be vertebrates, animals, and eukaryotes. This post displays a fundamental misunderstanding of cladistics.
There is a difference between a theory and a scientific theory.
Scientific theories are testable.
Is Abiogenesis testable? Where is the evidence?
Right. Keep it away from public policy and we’re all good.I don't care what anyone teaches their kids at home. As far as I'm concerned, it's a pretty harmless belief.
Uh, no. In lab conditions, the generation for E coli is 20 minutes.
Organization of sister origins and replisomes during multifork DNA replication in Escherichia coli.
Considerably less than 40 years. My calculator says 115 days. One of us is doing it wrong, but even with your math it's less than 3 years.

OK, cool.
Evolution also claims that bacteria will produce bacteria no matter how long you observe them.
To get a basic understanding of evolution you would benefit from taking a look at the tree of life
Here is a very simplistic version of it.
Bacteria on the left in the diagramme above.
Except evolution is not a religion by any definition, unless one deliberately bares false witness.I prefer that neither religion were in the science class room.
Why do creationists always trot out this silly comic book version of evolution?
A fruit fly changing into a giraffe would be something you might find in a religious text described as a miracle (right next to giants having offspring with human women maybe), but it occurring would invalidate our understanding of evolution.
That's why universities, hospitals, museums, research laboratories, excavation sites, etc. around the world are throwing it out in favor of a 6000 year old Cosmos
I can't even imagine how the kids from Arkansas will fare against the kids from other countries who are so much more advanced in science, tech, engineering and math.

There you go with the "magically transmogrify" bearing false witnessing again. "magically transmogrifying" is something you would find in comic books or bronze age mythology. It has nothing to do with evolution.I don't find it any more comic book-ish than the idea of dark spot on the outside of a lizard's skin magically transmogrifying into a functioning eyeball....but that's just me.
AFAIK no one has ever been murdered for disagreeing with the Theory of Evolution.From the way its adherents savagely attack everybody who challenges it, you'd certainly think it was a religion---and an intolerant, violent one at that.
IOW just make stuff up that somehow makes the story seem less silly and childish.You gotta think outside the box, man. Maybe the giants (Nephilim in Hebrew) were visitors from a different galaxy?

(I know...here we go with comic books again; but since neither you nor I were actually there at the time, it's entirely plausible.) Perhaps we're the fruit flies they're tinkering with, and they decided to inject some of their own DNA into our line to see what would happen.
Well, I will grant you that the cosmos might be considerably older than 6000 years (again, neither of us were there, so we can't really say for sure), but insofar as life walking around in it, it hasn't been here that long.
Oh, they'll do about as well or ill as the rest of us will.
The real problem will be trying to learn how to read, write, and speak Cantonese once the Chinese take over the world.

Neither you nor I were there when Aragorn and the Black Fleet arrived to save Gondor either so that's entirely plausible as well then, isn't it?(I know...here we go with comic books again; but since neither you nor I were actually there at the time, it's entirely plausible.)
