To be vulnerable refers to something open to attack, or left unprotected from possible harm. The synonym "Untenable" suggests a greater certainty of defeat, as does "defenseless."
Yet, one can be vulnerable, & extricate themselves from the situation, thus it does not mean "weak." Also, you should delete "...been able to.." Actually, the whole sentence should be re-structured but this was going to be my last answer, & I'm going to bed! Just look up the differences between the synonyms I gave you....yawn

I think a theory as it is used in science is a logical explanation of natural phenomena. A theory is composed of facts, proved hypothesis, natural laws etc.... A scientific theory encompasses a wide range of data. Predictions, tested hypothesis, controlled experiments etc... The word theory has been bastardized by lay persons and has become a misnomer to mean speculation, opinions, etc. I would not equate the creation story to be a theory. Nor would I call it a hypothesis since that is usually an educated guess. The creation story = The creation Hunch I don`t know why the theory of evolution is not a law. I`m a lay person myself but I think it`s because certain aspects of it is left up to interpretation. The contention that all life evolved from the same terrestrial tree is a fact, but by what means is up for interpretation. Most scientists think that natural selection is the main mechanism, others do not. Then there is the selection of units problem. On what level does natural selection work. Again most think that selection takes place merely on the genetic level (Richard Dawkins - Selfish gene) others do not.

It means that at that particular time you were somehow at a disadvantage or outside your normal state of being. Perhaps you were depressed, in emotional turmoil, physical pain and/or any number of influences to make you "weak" at that time. Hope this helps

First, the question should be, If I weren't vulnerable....Use the subjunctive please. My definition: Vulnerable = weak, unable to defend myself or act in my own best interests.
