Religion

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.
