You're somewhat off the scale, which goes something like this:
Gut feeling or idea - you have something you're interested in knowing better, but no evidence whatsoever.
Hypothesis - a formulation of the ones above, and a plan how to gather knowledge and perhaps limiting oneself to a narrower topic, so that one doesn't get streched too thin.
Theory - Plenty of independent studies that verify the hypothesis, and adequate evidence to make something a fact.
Law - There will never ever be contradicting evidence for this.

Especially since most were really polite about it too..
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
