Instead scientific knowledge becomes accepted as more and more probably correct as it survives years of intense experimental scrutiny.
And evolution has withstood that scrutiny for 100 years; it's the best-supported theory in science. Moreover it's been responsible for a mountain of successful research, confirmed predictions, and useful explanations; the hallmark of successful theory, as I'm sure you must know. If you are who you say you are, of course.
For example, I have read Science magazine cover-to-cover for over twenty years now...and 'stability' is not the word I would use to describe the current evolutionary paradigm.
Ah yes, the "apes don't read
philosophy!" defense.
Of course, as Jamie Lee Curtis reminds us, apes
do read philosophy; they just don't understand it.
