Answer 1

lol, I must have got you good.lol thanks for noticing me lol

but Webster Dictionary says it best:
1 : the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another
2 : abstract thought : SPECULATION
3 : the general or abstract principles of a body of fact, a science, or an art
4 a : a belief, policy, or procedure proposed or followed as the basis of action b : an ideal or hypothetical set of facts, principles, or circumstances -- often used in the phrase in theory
5 : a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena

THIS PART SAYS IT ALL.
6 a : a hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or investigation b : an unproved assumption : CONJECTURE c : a body of theorems presenting a concise systematic view of a subject

Answer 2

Everybody, shut up.

The scientific definition of the word "theory":

In scientific usage, a theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it can in everyday speech. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena. It originates from or is supported by experimental evidence (see scientific method). In this sense, a theory is a systematic and formalized expression of all previous observations that is predictive, logical and testable. In principle, scientific theories are always tentative, and subject to corrections or inclusion in a yet wider theory. Commonly, a large number of more specific hypotheses may be logically bound together by just one or two theories. As a general rule for use of the term, theories tend to deal with much broader sets of universals than do hypotheses, which ordinarily deal with much more specific sets of phenomena or specific applications of a theory.

The term theoretical is sometimes used to describe a result that is predicted by theory but has not yet been adequately tested by observation or experiment. It is not uncommon for a theory to produce predictions that are later confirmed by experiment.

Answer 3

Good point. It seems that people often act like if something is a theory, then it requires no further evaluation or should not be taken seriously. On the contrary, if something is a theory, then it should be seriously evaluated and considered.

Answer 4

the problem is that first to have reasonable discussion with a "fundie" you have to find a reasonable "fundie" i think the reason they are obsessed with the three things you mention is because they know and understand the big bang and then evolved into closet homosexuals themselves and are scared of themselves.

Answer 5

Fundies don't know how theory is utilized in a scientific context.

Answer 6

Yup... wanzanna will even post the definitions of theory and neglect to realize that the scientific definitions are contained therein. It's just like religious folk to use only one definition of a word and ignore all the rest of the definitions that don't fit their worldview.

Answer 7

Okay I'm giving you my theory that we all were spawned by killer grasshoppers.

I dare you to refute!

Answer 8

Wow, that's news to them
