"It's all just a bunch of theories," she said. I was floored...still am, actually. She is very religious, needless to say. I tried to explain theories to her and what they mean in science, but was unable to convince her. I very much like your point here, and perhaps one day will bring that to her attention. How can you not believe in science?? I am appalled on so many levels--but mostly because she is homeschooling her kids and will pass this on to another generation... Anyway, good post.
