Kinda scary when morons who are in positions of power and believe mythology is factual and downgrade widely accepted science. They aren’t happy until children are made to be just as stupid as they are.

His isn't exactly a fringe position. Denial of evolutionary theory is fairly mainstream among Protestant Christians in the US.

scientists trained in the related fields.

"Nearly all (around 97%) of the scientific community accepts evolution as the dominant scientific theory of biological diversity.[1][2] Scientific associations have strongly rebutted and refuted the challenges to evolution proposed by intelligent design proponents.[3]z'

say evolution is only a theory, that gravity likewise is only a theory. But it's probably not a good idea to step out of a window on a high floor, thinking that you'll float safely to the ground.

In science, something formally called a theory means it's very well accepted as fact.

Non scientists often use the word theory when what they really mean is hypothesis, which is a guess, sometimes informed sometimes not, about something. So it's the Theory of Evolution, not the Hypothesis of Evolution. And the Theory of Gravity, not the Hypothesis of Gravity. Heck, we also call modern understanding of most disease the Germ Theory of Disease. Again, not the Germ Hypothesis of Disease.

Scientists don't accept theory as fact. A theory is a model which describes the physical universe and it has been shown through empirical methods to be accurate, but hasn't been proved or may not even be provable.

A hypothesis is an educated guess concerning a matter that is falsifiable and can be evaluated through empirical methods for a subject that is not covered by existing scientific theories or laws. It generally accompanies sound reasoning as to why it may be true.

Creationism isn't a theory or hypothesis and never will be. It is mythology. So when dipshits want creationism taught as a competing school of thought alongside evolution in a science class, not only is this nonsensical but it literally makes people more ignorant about what science is and isn't.

When scientists use the world theory that way, they mean accepted fact. Oh, they are still willing to be open to it being falsified, but feel pretty confident it won't be.

See also Theory of Gravity and the Germ Theory of Disease.

But yes, you are absolutely right about Creationism being mythology.

"process of evolution" because the processes of evolution are all around, therefore easy prove their validity.
There are examples of those validating processes everywhere.
