No, in fact, what I was taught as a kid about evolutionary theory continues to be supported by what is being added to that body of knowledge today.

Evolutionary theory is the one theory explaining our planet's vast biodiversity that has stood up to, and continues to stand up to, rigorous scientific testing and exploration. If another theory comes along that stands up to the same level of testing for 150 years, I'm sure it will be taught in future schools. At present, no such alternative explanation has stood up to the scrutiny the theory of evolution has.



I read the entire article. I'm not sure you did, Rupert, as that is not AT ALL what that article is saying. At all.
I didn't read the whole article. That was a long article. I skimmed over it. The title was "Why everything you've been told about evolution is wrong."

I have a question for you. Do you think evolution has been proven or is it just a theory? From my searches on google, everything I'm seeing says that it is still just a theory. There may be parts to it that are proven but there are still way too many parts that are unproven. That is why it is still referred to as a "theory".

Here is a page that gives a non-religious summary of the scientific evidence for both creationism and evolution.
