What I am saying is that evolution, because it is based on observation, not
faith, can be exposed to, and changed by the observations of others.

Creation mythologies because they are based on faith not observation, cannot
be exposed to, and changed by the observations of others.

They are at the core different, not just in their conclusions.

I never wrote (nor did I mean to suggest) that evolution is a law.
