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.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?

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?RebelSnake wrote:Evolution is science.
