Talking about a show with a song about evolution isn't really, but pi is.

Evolution IS just a theory though... And theories are never definitely correct...

It has a whole lot of evidence though.

But it is still as theory...

If it were wrong, a lot of science would collapse.
I reckon that'd be quite an interesting spectacle.

All of science is "just a theory". Theories are those ideas which we have large amounts of evidence for - if there is little/no evidence, then you've got a hypothesis.

Like the nuclear model atomic structure thingy. It has lots of evidence to support it, but we can't prove it becuase we don't have any microscopes that can see the structure of an atom.

In which case, my aim in life is now to DIS-prove modern science...

Good luck. Many people will be annoyed for a while, but they'll thank you in the end.

But then what will we have in place of everything you've disproved?

New ideas. And you'll need some pet scientists to come up with them.

It'd be better to find out that we were wrong than continue living thinking we were right and we weren't, especially if you knew were weren't and were just trying to ignore the fact.

Thankyou. So, any advance on that lecturing position?
