there is not a debate about evolution...the theory may have changed over time, but there is NO debate going on among scientists TODAY about evolution...the fact that things change over time does change what is considered real in the "now".  If a rock is smashed into bits, the original particles remain intact, but the rock exists no more.  So to say that a theory is not "real" because it can change is simply not a valid statement.  Yes, truth can have subjective spin on it to make it a "half truth" or somewhat false, but there ARE objective realities that are not changeable based on subjective opinions.  These realities change over time, but the subjective reality only changes within that person...

Of course energy cannot be destroyed, or created...only transferred from potential to kinetic and vice versa...i'm not an idiot, and your fundamental understanding of a "scientific theory" is still wrong, no matter what you want to "believe".

I personally do not believe that our understanding of the universe can go beyond what we can experience.  I believe our laws of physics are true on earth, but "still theoretical" on planets that we have not yet visited.  Do you see the way i used theoretical there?  That is not the same "theory" that evolution uses. 

Science is not supposed to stay static...the point of science is to change the opinion in light of new evidence, so OF COOUUUURSE theories will change based on new evidence, exactly as they are supposed to...however, evolutionary theory has NOT changed for a long time...there have been many more findings that necessitate the changing of animal classes, but that did not change the theory...so PLEASE stop saying that scientists are unsure about evolution...they AREN'T
