I find that these scientific theories threaten my religious theology and am hoping to disparage them (first by confusing the layman's use of 'theory' with the scientific one) and then by having thousands of books written based on partial truths to discredit them. I figured it works for evolution, why leave these things out of the mix?

Scientific theory is not fact. That is why it is called theory. Scientific theory, however, is BASED ON fact. Statements of scientific theory are merely the most commonly accepted explanation that fits the available facts and seems to explain the things that do not have 100% fact to back them up, but have been experimented with to the extent of our technology. To disprove scientific theory, though, is merely an exercise to make it stronger. If one can disprove certain things about a theory, then a new theory will develop to take its place,. The new theory will be largely the same, but will include new details making it more factual than it was before. The whole idea of trying to bring down science altogether is an effort in futility. Why try to destroy what could one day reveal the ultimate answer in an undeniable way to anyone who observes it? Why try to destroy the exercise of free will in the attempt to understand the universe and its workings, regardless of whether you believe in a supernatural creator or not?

Everything is relative. The phenomenon we experience as gravity is because of the relative nature of our physical and temporal displacement of the local universe. In this sense, the laws of physics that govern the local universe are "fact" so long as we, and the local universe, do not change drastically. Gravity might not be a fact if we were to accelerate to light speed, or shrink ourselves down to the subatomic level, at which point we'd probably need a new set of physical laws.
In order to make sense of the universe around us (ie. make intellectual progress) it's important that we give ourselves certain "absolutes", even if they're not 100% accepted. Because science allows for self-correction, a theory can still be useful even if it's later proven wrong, because for the interim it fills the gap that eventually helps you to arrive at the truth.
Evolution may not be be 100% correct, but it is undoubtedly a stepping stone towards the truth. Theists are understandably terrified of the day that this truth is discovered, because a huge part of their theology will vanish like a fart on the breeze.

"i understand quantum physics is purely a theory even though it grow to be by no ability shown or disproven." comparable for all of technological awareness. If a theory is disproven, we provide up using it, or we in basic terms use it the place it makes stable predictions. the two Quantum Mechanics and Relativity we are forced to apply interior the domain names they artwork, with some nicely-mentioned splicing the place they overlap. "i'm attempting to link it with generic relativity and how area can flux and bend and how they tie that to black holes." That total element is roofed via generic Relativity, so it relatively is already "tied". What isn't is the thank you to get gravitation or spacetime out of Quantum Mechanics. "i realize it might desire to be plenty to extraordinary yet i'm searching for some mathematical equations and prevalent reasons." You and each fourth guy or woman on earth, you recognize, those with "physics" brains. no person is acquainted with the thank you to try this yet. Get to college, grab the reigns, and teach us how.

Again, with the concept of THEORY, it has not been proven. For crying out loud, almost everything we do in math is based on theorems. Nothing can be proved. We're just trying to figure things out as we go along.

Ah yes....intelligence verses faith were intelligence can't explain faith so it cancels it out altogether. Sounds quite scientific. Yet faith relies on the intelligence of All Knowing God. Sounds better!

why do you discriminate against electromagnetism? Are you some kind of electro-denier?
It's as much of a theory as any of them!

Fact is only what we percieve with our 5 senses what is real.
