Evolution

Pure science when dealing with fact---not theory---has consensus with full agreement among reputable scientists. Debating over who has the best opinion is not science. And asserting that "everyone believes in evolution" does not provide empirical evidence.

In the academic world we have "schools of thought" providing consensus---and I think good will---within segments of a sphere of knowledge.

Wouldn't we do well to treat evolution as philosophy or history instead of science?
