One of my biggest annoyances with the evolution debate is the apparent inability of those on the anti side to understand the concept of a scientific theory. When scientists refer to something as a theory they are essentially saying "no one has been able to prove this idea wrong yet." not "hey i have an interesting idea that i just came up with on the spot." In the last 150 years no one has been able to disprove the theory of evolution -- that doesn't make it defiantly true (science has high standards for declaring something a law) but it makes it a lot more viable than most other ideas out there. drives me freaking nuts.
/sorry for being a bit off topic.
