But everything we know (outside of the field of mathematics) is a hypotheses in which we have more or less faith. Nowdays, nearly everyone believes that Newton knew what he was talking about when it comes to motion and that the earth is round because we have no counterexamples for them; there is a small minority who think Einstein was wrong; phycists are split over the Bell hypotheses. Given this, I will object strenously to evolution being taught as a hypotheses if the equally valid (or equally invalid) theory that the earth orbits the sun is taught as a fact!
