[edit] Protection problem

Try editing my sandbox. User:TimVickers/Sandbox. See if this is a general problem. TimVickers 23:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, so that worked. That page was semi-protected so this isn't a problem with your account. What error message did you get when you tried to edit evolution? TimVickers 23:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

None, the "edit" button was just missing. When I checked it again, it worked. I'm not sure whether I should edit anything, you see, I support the Creationist view. But maybe you can help me with my queries. I'm wondering why is says "(...)results in these populations accumulating differences over time and eventually becoming two separate new species." Shouldn't it say "is thought to result in these(...)"?

Shouldn't the quote "The hominoids are descendants of a common ancestor." read "The hominoids are thought to be descendants of a common ancestor."?

The expression "The scientists think that(...)" and "The scientists know that(...)" describe two very different things, namely a widely accepted theory and widely accepted fact.

In fact, some say that evolution isn't worthy of being called a theory. Karl Popper said, I believe, "Evolution is not a fact. Evolution doesn't even qualify as a theory or as a hypothesis. It is a metaphysical research program, and it is not really testable science." - Henrik46 23:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

You'll find answers to most of these questions in the Talk:Evolution/FAQ. If this seems unclear on your points of interest, just drop me a note on my talk page. TimVickers 23:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
