So, again, show me the test for human and plant and insect "evolution" from a single life source.

What, there isn't one? Well, then certainly there's been a test that shows offspring species that are more advanced than the parent species, right?

What, no? Well, I guess evolution is just a "hunch", or "a story you believe in" or "an idea that you hope is true in the absence of anything tangible", since it meets none of your definitions of scientific theory!

We're back to saying that religious beliefs should be taught in theology classes, especially if they all get equal time; specific religious beliefs belong in the institution that harbors the community of those believers; science is taught in school because the purpose of school is to engender knowledge.
Or, scientific myth/fantasy, in this case.
