Evolution is just a theory, isnt it? What is a scientific theory anyway? Dont scientists prove things? What is the difference between a fact, a hypothesis and a theory in science? How does scientific thinking differ from religious thinking? Why are most leading scientists atheists? Are science and religion compatible?
