Key word being "THEORY".

Full Definition of theory

plural the·o·ries

   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 <music theory>
   4 a :  a belief, policy, or procedure proposed or followed as the basis of action <her method is based on the theory that all children want to learn>
      b :  an ideal or hypothetical set of facts, principles, or circumstances —often used in the phrase in theory <in theory, we have always advocated freedom for all>
   5:  a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena <the wave theory of light>
   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 <theory of equations>

Huggies, I see you skipped over the definition that best describes a scientific theory to cherry pick the ones that you think support your bullshit. Bravo.

Do you even understand what science is or what the scientific method is used for? Somehow, I really doubt it.

You don't realize that it's still saying the same thing?

Quote:1:  the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another

That's why a hypothesis is defined as an educated GUESS.

Say someone saw you arguing with your neighbor and the next day he was found stabbed to death with a knife from your kitchen. Those two facts could be used to THEORIZE that YOU stabbed your neighbor, in no way does that make it the truth.
