Do you think there is a point in evolutionary theory, as presented today, that elevates above fact into opinion, and if yes, at what point?


Evolution is objective science pure and simple. Opinions are subjective and vary from person to person. How some people choose to use or abuse evolution in no way affects the validity of the facts behind it.

How far do the facts go, however? When does direct observation and measurement leave off and when does opinion and inference start in?

Do you believe creationism and evolution are necessarily mutually exclusive?

Thanks for that clarification. It doesn't answer my question however. Is creationism and evolution mutually exclusive? More to the point, as you clarify, are science and religion mutually exclusive?
