not to mention that Darwinian theory of evolution is probably wrong since it fails to answer all questions regarding evolution.
theory cannot become fact. theories explain facts or bodies of facts. evolution itself is not a theory, its a phenomenon, something that happens and can be observed; evolutionary theory seeks to explain that phenomenon. evolution has happened <-- thats a fact -- evolution, just the word by itself, does not constitute a fact; similarly, the word, gravity, on its own, is also not a fact.

example facts:

i let go of my ball yesterday and it fell downward.
i let go of my ball last week and it fell downward.
i let go of my ball everyday last year, and every single time, it fell downward.

example theory:

if i let go of my ball, it will fall downward.

gotta crawl before you walk. if you dont know what the words mean, you wont understand the arguments. for a theory to be scientific, the subject of the theory must be a preexisting phenomenon. theres no questioning whether or not evolution happens, its the explanation of the how and why of evolution that evolutionary theory means to explain.

do you know what the above statement means? there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.
You are incorrect, per google the phrase mostly unique comes up with over 3 million hits making the use of the phrase not so unique. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search
