A war of words: science will triumph only when theory becomes law

Article Abstract:

Creationists argue that evolution is an unproven theory and the perception of people that theory is something yet to be proven is being exploited by the opponents of evolution. Scientists should be more forceful when discussing scientific conclusions that are generally agreed upon such as evolution. It is proposed that the theory of evolution be changed to the law of evolution to avoid the confusion.
