Hypothesis of evolution

As a creationist myself, I've got to point out that the phrasing of this userbox just makes those displaying it seem silly. (Compare "This user is an atheist" to "This user believes in Flying Spaghetti Monsterism" If "This user does NOT accept the Theory of Evolution" is unacceptable phrasing (why some consider it unacceptable, I don't know), could this be rewritten "This user does NOT accept Evolution"?

"If "This user does NOT accept the Theory of Evolution" is unacceptable phrasing (why some consider it unacceptable, I don't know),"

Because if you disagree with the existence of evolution then you obviously don't think it is a scientific theory. From the wiki article:"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on knowledge that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation"Winfredtheforth (talk) 08:35, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
