It constitutes the present world-view of liberal intellectuals in every field. This is the philosophy of evolution. Although widely promoted as a scientific fact, evolution has never been proved scientifically. A scientific hypothesis should be capable of being tested in some way, to determine whether or not it is true, but evolution cannot be tested. No laboratory experiment can either confirm or falsify a process which, by its very nature, requires millions of years to accomplish significant results.
Evolution is, therefore, neither fact, theory, nor hypothesis.
When creationists propose, however, that creation be taught in the schools along with evolution, evolutionists commonly react emotionally, rather than scientifically. Life comes only from life. There is nothing new under the sun. Neither evolution nor creation is accessible to the scientific method, since they deal with origins and history, not with presently observable and repeatable events. Some students and their parents believe in creation, some in evolution, and some are undecided.
