1 out of 3 is not bad.
i guess we can quibble about the meaning of "best guess" but to me it's approximately equivalent to "theory". not in the sense of "oh, my best guess is vancouver is 200 miles from here because i'm pulling numbers out of the air" but in the sense of "google maps and the washington state department of transportation say the distance is 141 miles. afaik they used reasonable measurement techniques but i wouldn't be surprised if the answer is 140 or 142 miles instead."
also do we agree that evolution is, in fact, a theory? if so, then i don't see why it's any harder/purer/... than any other major scientific theory, so i don't see how you can disagree with that part of my post.
