Not sure how you see the difference between evolution, and the theory thereof, except that with the theory the details have to be moved around or deleted when new data arises , which gives you the liberty to claim that though the theory is continually revised, evolution itself is true. Which brings us back to the question, how do you know it is true ? . And as you say , Steve, anyone who says something is true without evidence should be sacked.   I am glad to hear that you allowed some lea way for doubt in your teaching days , but you seem very sure now. Can you tell us why it is true, without falling back on the numbers of academics who agree with you as the being the reason ? .as regarding evidence for God as a scientific experiment, there will never be enough to satisfy the committed atheist, and if said atheist cannot evidence the creation of a godless universe , why should he expect the Christian to provide enough evidence for God.    However it may be worth exploring. So, a question, ....we know you say null hypothesis, but would you grant that the universe consists of more than matter and energy, or do you say that there is nothing else?.
