A theory is not a hunch or a guess but an extensive, well defined set of data complete with fully outlined mechanisms and so on ... a theory is the HIGHEST form of scientific explanation available and implies nothing of guesswork or uncertainty.
OTOH you know [expletive deleted] all about what happens on the other side of life so no it isn't a theory, it's wishful thinking!
