Belief Quote by Alan I. Leshner
“Evolution is far more than a belief or an educated guess about how people came to be as they are. It is, in fact, the product of converging evidence from many, many different fields of science. Many, many thousands of studies that, in fact, have provided a theory, an organizing principal in fact, that describes how humans came to be.”

![“Evolution is a theory in a special philosophical sense of science, but in terms of ordinary laymen's use of language, it's a fact, .. Evolution is a fact in the same sense that it's a fact that the Earth is round and not flat, [that] the Earth goes round the Sun. Both those are also theories, but…” quote by Richard Dawkins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/237/richard-dawkins-115_earth_evolution-is-a-theory-in-a-special-philo_1969521.jpg)
