If I was a crooked preacher making a trillion dollars a year I would pay a well known science geek a billion dollars to say that I am right.

I guess the Dover School board doen't know what a scientific theory is vs. the common english use of the word theory. They should go back to school and learn the difference

no, you're thinking of a hypothesis. ( example: Easter Island causes of population decline had several hypotheses over the years)
A theory is like a hypothesis that has been "promoted." A theory has the support of FACTS ...
this requires CRITICAL THINKING

It can be argued that evolution does not qualify as a theory. A theory allows you to go back and make modifications when an error is discovered. This is not possible with evolution. The premise cant change or it ceases to be evolution.
No it cant be argued. it is a theory. theory is the closest thing to truth that science can come up with. there are several laws involved in evolution. now if god himself comes down and says "ha you humans are funny, actually here is how i did it" then MANY theories would be "wrong"
any premise change in any theory can wreck the whole thing, but the premise change YOU are talking about isnt even real. you are talking about "god did it" and that will never hold water.
