Everyone here better start believing in the one and only Flying Spaghetti Monster.  You certainly can't prove it's non-existence.

Here you have the Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts" of pastafarian doctrine:

1. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Act Like a Sanctimonious Holier-Than-Thou Ass When Describing My Noodly Goodness. If Some People Don't Believe In Me, That's Okay. Really, I'm Not That Vain. Besides, This Isn't About Them So Don't Change The Subject.

2. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Use My Existence As A Means To Oppress, Subjugate, Punish, Eviscerate, And/Or, You Know, Be Mean To Others. I Don't Require Sacrifices, And Purity Is For Drinking Water, Not People.

3. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Judge People For The Way They Look, Or How They Dress, Or The Way They Talk, Or, Well, Just Play Nice, Okay? Oh, And Get This In Your Thick Heads: Woman = Person. Man = Person. Samey - Samey. One Is Not Better Than The Other, Unless We're Talking About Fashion And I'm Sorry, But I Gave That To Women And Some Guys Who Know The Difference Between Teal and Fuchsia.

4. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Indulge In Conduct That Offends Yourself, Or Your Willing, Consenting Partner Of Legal Age AND Mental Maturity. As For Anyone Who Might Object, I Think The Expression Is Go Fuck Yourself, Unless They Find That Offensive In Which Case They Can Turn Off the TV For Once And Go For A Walk For A Change.

5. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Challenge The Bigoted, Misogynist, Hateful Ideas Of Others On An Empty Stomach. Eat, Then Go After The Bastard.

6. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Build Multimillion-Dollar Churches/Temples/Mosques/Shrines To My Noodly Goodness When The Money Could Be Better Spent (Take Your Pick):

          a. Ending Poverty
          b. Curing Diseases
          c. Living In Peace, Loving With Passion, And Lowering The Cost Of Cable
              I Might be a Complex-Carbohydrate Omniscient Being, But I Enjoy The Simple Things In Life. I Ought To Know. I AM the Creator.

7. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Go Around Telling People I Talk To You. You're Not That Interesting. Get Over Yourself. And I Told You To Love Your Fellow Man, Can't You Take A Hint?

8. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You If You Are Into, Um, Stuff That Uses A Lot of Leather/Lubricant/Las Vegas. If the Other Person Is Into It, However (Pursuant To #4), Then Have At It, Take Pictures, And For The Love Of Mike, Wear a CONDOM! Honestly, It's A Piece of Rubber. If I Didn't Want It To Feel Good When You Did It I Would Have Added Spikes, Or Something.

Actually, I did answer your question. I do not believe scientists refer to evolution as fact. I said they accept it as "truth" b/c evolution is supported by an abundance of evidence. If you want to substitute "truth" with "fact" then be my guest.

Evolution is a fact like Gravity is a fact.

The theory "of" evolution explains the fact of evolution like the theory "of" gravity explains the fact of gravity.

Don't confuse "Evolution"(life evolving) with the "theory of evolution"(Darwins theory of Decent with Modification and Natural Selection).

Although both are true.

Well Johnny . . . er . . . I mean "Neo," how would you like to win $250,000?  Just follow this link and give this guy your evidence supporting the theory of evolution.  http://www.drdino.com/articles.php?spec=67

And you're using semantics to try and support an argument.  If a scientific theory can never proved, then why do many evolutionists now refer to this theory as a fact?  If no theory could ever be proved, then no theory would ever become a fact.   

Kent Hovind was arrested in July and indicted in federal court on 58 charges including 44 of tax evasion. He owes the federal government $504,957.24.
He has a court appearance in Sepetember. He has been evading taxes for years and is also in debt. His theme park "Dinosaur land" has also been shut down. Setting aside the fact his "challenge" is a fake(a big set aside), There is no way he could possibly pay the reward even if his challenge was legit.

Dang.  So much for the reward.  You could have made a bunch of money.

No. His tax records show he never had the money in the first place. Even if he did have the money, There is no way he would of ever admited that someone had proven evolution. His criteria of "proof" makes it impossible to get the money. He demands that the applicant not simply "prove evolution occured" but "Prove to HIS satisfaction that evolution was the ONLY possible way the universe could of formed." So he's not only demanding proof "to his satisfaction" but also demanding proof that evolution was the only "possible way"(even if it is true) that the universe formed. This is firstly impossible and secondly, Evolution as discussed in science doesn't deal with the origin of the universe but simply the origin of species diversification.
