I give up: I'd rather go backwards, than forwards (in Evolution)

To assert that you don't know what the word "theory" means in scientific context was the most charitable option. If you do know what it means and yet use it wrongly, you are knowingly and deliberately spreading falsehoods.
As I said, the most charitable interpretation...

They aren't wrong though: you are clearly using the words theory and fact in clearly wrong uses and after even being correct on them, still continue to do so.

Didn't I say ..... science calls it the Theory of Evolution ????? Yes they do. Go degrade them about calling it that .... when they change it to fact of evolution ... let me know.

They call it theory of evolution because it explains the fact of evolution. You are the one who has been complaining about it being called the theory of evolution and not the fact of evolution, not I.

Is this understandable to you?

It is the fact of evolution. The theory of evolution merely is an explanation for that fact. If you don't like the theory of evolution as an explanation for the fact of evolution, what's your explanation?

If I go back to being a monkey, do I go back to being a better monkey? Or do the mutations added since being a monkey make being a monkey again worse?
Kinda like this?

This is extremely unnecessary stress. You’re building a prison for yourself.

Intention is the driver of health.
The goal of atomic ionization is to plant the seeds of non-locality rather than delusion. Today, science tells us that the essence of nature is life. You and I are warriors of the dreamscape.

I think you could write for thunderbolts.

YOU were never a monkey and you never will be. Your distant ancestors were monkeys (or monkey-like). The same applies to me and everyone else on this board.

I don't get it: what am I?
You are a human. From you are born human and will die human.
It has been said very often to you (and to others); individuals don't evolve. Populations do evolve, but not individuals.

I am after a monkey, but before being finished as a man?

Do you just swap these things, at random, to suit yourself??
You are primarily your mind. Secondarily you are your body.

But populations are made up of individuals.

You mean "populations don't necessaily say they are individuals, therefore if their individuality is invoked, I will ignore it"?

Textbook disingenuity, and beside the point, if we all concur that Evolutionists call us monkeys and we still object as a population??

The problem is, you are not giving me the incentive, to adopt your point of view?

Offered to look at myself as though a monkey, is not an incentive??

When Creationists offer you to see it from their view, it is offered that your sins be forgiven (and your guilt be remitted)???
