Sam2: I don’t think Brony was arguing against your position, just against the position that evolution is made up.
My AP Bio class was taught evolution in much the same way. (Actually, evolution was an optional take-home unit in case anyone would get offended and not want to do it, but this should only be done at your own risk, as it comes up on the AP exam and you can’t exactly skip.)
Evolution isn’t even that hard to memorize just to put on the test- it’s pretty much intuitive, except for the terms.
Also- people who say that something’s just a “theory”- in science, the word theory does not mean what we think it means. When you think of something as a theory, a scientist would call it a hypothesis. Once a hypothesis is tested and accepted to be true, it’s called a theory, and it’s pretty much the same thing. (Not to be confused with a law, which is just a rule to which no exceptions have been found. Though they’re not to be confused, I have often done so anyway. I hate terminology.)
