    Relativity. Gravity. Quantum. Electrodynamics. Evolution. Each of these theories is true, whether or not you believe in them.

        @neiltyson If they're true, why are they still called "theories?"

        @DeoAcVeritati "Theory" in science has a different meaning than when we use it casually. It's confusing!

        Pisses me off how people misunderstand the meaning of the word 'theory' and use it so suggest something may not be yet proven. @neiltyson

        @neiltyson as a (conservative! evangelical!) Christian, it makes me sad that the church has tried so hard to demonize science.

        @zachfromkansas curious why you think science and Christianity are mutually exclusive. Most theologians know the Bible's not a textbook.

        Plus how is one to know what is literal and what is a metaphor? What is metaphor in 2 Kings 2:23-25? @r2dave2

        @zachfromkansas not saying the whole Bible is metaphor; there's a very real God who made us with free will to choose tip follow him or not

        Perhaps, but if so he has a piss poor way of giving evidence to make a rational decision. @r2dave2
