These are the definitions I accept from the Merrian-Webster Dictionary;
Law -a statement of an order or relation of phenomena that so far as is
known is invariable under the given conditions
Theory - an unproved assumption
P.S. When you say religion, if you are including Christianity,
Christianity has never been proven wrong like religion.
Like when they said the earth was flat, and when they said it was the centrer of the solar system.
To name but two of many.
Which part of science has different definitions from common usage did you not understand?
You need a scientific dictionary.
The reason such things exist is because science (for the reasons a gave above) uses different
definitions from common use.

Some scientist believed it and the RCC.

Only if everyone redefines evolution as equal to adaptation and forget
about all plant and animal life descending from ONE common life form.

change. The Holy Bible does not say God created every plant and animal,
just every KIND of plant and animal. But they are programmed to
reproduce after there own kind, so it would be impossible for them to
evolve into another kind. They are only able to adapt to environmental
changes as needed. And of course changes due to breeding within kinds.

Evolution is not a mystical process - just slow change, infinitessimal adaptations. Where there is no need to change there is no evolution. (Off the top of my head I think crocodiles and sharks are pretty ancient)

was since it appears contrary to what I believe the Holy Bible says.
The skeptics are saying that just because 9 out 10 people believe in a creator, that doesn't mean anything whatsoever. It's just the equivalent of 9 people raising their hands. Nothing more.
I will accept that retort -- however you are missing something.
a. As mentioned before - mankind has had 7,000 years to put together a belief system. 7,000 years of gathering data and drawing conclusions. Effectively, we have a whole world full of researchers who are also on the front lines of the research as the subjects of it. We've been at this a while and it strikes me as odd, or convenient, that all this time spent searching for answers has not yielded ANYTHING of value.
b. If you really think that the testimony and belief of 9 out of 10 people is utterly meaningless... then you are by default arguing that the entire human race (including the Atheists) is a bunch of bumbling fools. If that is your argument, then touché but you can't have your cake and eat it too. The testimony of the Atheists as well as the research and science they rely upon, is equally tainted and skewed by the bumbling foolishness of the human race.
