So much for 'stay silent where the bible is silent,' eh? Anyone else ever notice that Drich tends to put forth ideas that may complement what he is arguing at the time but completely refute one of his previous arguments?
Please by all means give me an example where i have stated the bible says________ or does not say________...

Come back to me when you've come up with a compelling explanation for why germ theory, the theory of gravity, and the heliocentric theory are all "just theories," too.
Here Drich, let me help.
Scientific (and reasonable definition of theory from Wiki): "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment."[
Christian definition of theory: persistent dingleberry. Same source, highly irritating, and requires more than a simple wipe to eradicate.
Maybe you should write the folks and Merrium-webster and tell them their definations are off and that they need to change their definations to match the 'defination' you found on wikipedia.

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>
As i said i am in good company.

Oh for Thor's sake! It's time that you learn the difference between notion, idea, hypothesis and theory.
