From the article:
---------------------------------
Spectrum/Ron Hamman

In my last article I put forth the challenge to truthfully answer why we still
call evolution a theory. This is perhaps the most important question in the
evolutionary argument, because upon it hinges whether or not it is truly
scientific.

If evolution cannot be proven scientifically, then it ceases to be science but
instead is philosophy, at best, or worse, mere conjecture.

The fact that evolutionary scientists know this is self-evident by the constant
barrage of theories and experimentation they throw at us. And indeed they must,
for their only alternative is Christianity.
