"Stu
Although we can't say for 100% evolution is true..."

This comment is taken a tad out of context . . . to all intents and purposes evolution is happening, and is true.

Yes, Stu, you are right, for all practical purposes the prevailing scientific orthodoxy is taken as "true". Anyone working in evolution will take Evolution and Darwin's Theory of Evolution for granted. Anyone working in mechanics or ballistics or planetary motion (with one exception) will assume that Newton's theories are true (even though we now know they aren't). They will be the context within which they work. That isn't the point.

One of Steve's main weapons against pete and his chums is that "Evolution is true." If all that means is that scientists behave as if it was true "to all intents and purposes" then you have handed the game to the creationists. They are quite entitled to say "These evolutionists behave as if evolution is true even though they know it isn't really. That's what we've been saying all the time." "Evolution is true." implies more than that. It suggests a degree of certainty to compete with literal truth in the Bible and that isn't what science does.
