Right, and just to close the loop, it is a fact that gravity exists, and the theory of gravity is our current thinking of how it works and why it exists. Likewise, it is a fact that evolution exists, and the theory of evolution is our current understanding of how it works.
- vezzy-fnord 12y agoIt is worth noting that a lot of people don't seem to be taught about gravitational theory in any reasonable depth in public school. Instead, most are familiar with the law of universal gravitation, which is an axiom specifically in Newtonian mechanics. Thus much of the confusion is in people not knowing the differences between laws, theories, hypotheses and conjectures. Sloppy curricula is a large factor in this, I think.
