"[bush] and most people in this country don't understand how science works," said Lindberg, chair of UC Berkeley's Department of Integrative Biology and curator for the UC Museum of Paleontology, which created a Web site, evolution.berkeley.edu, to help teachers fend off the attacks of evolutionary challengers.
"Words like 'theory' and 'hypothesis' mean something to scientists. Gravity is a theory. Evolution is a theory," he said. "Science is not a democracy. We don't vote on what theory we like best."

Personally, I vote for the theory that big alien apes came to earth and built the pyramids and caused the ice age. They come back sometimes just to stir things up. Like, they borrowed all the ivory billed woodpeckers and forgot to bring them back until recently.
That George Bush is a big fucking idiot, however, is empirically established fact, not theory. Thank heavens there's no argument about that.
