Evolution should be classified as something other than science

[spidergoat]

If evolution is not science, can we just call it by it's real name? History.

all of science is theory, and you have to decide whether or not you believe a theory, so all science is a matter of faith. science just uses as much evidence and logic as possible.

all of science is theory, .

No it isn't. Science is the process of developing theories, it is not the theories themselves.

and you have to decide whether or not you believe a theory,

No you don't. You can, as a scientist, or with a scientific demeanour, provisionally accept a theory as the best current explanation for observations. You may as an emotional human invest a strong preference for a particular theory, claiming you believe it. That is not science and has nothing to do with science.

so all science is a matter of faith. .

Since your premises are wrong, your conclusion is too.
