Evolution/creation 2

[Annik]

Educate yourself.

like using wiki definations over Merrium-webster's definations, because the better suit my arguement? you mean change my world to reflect my reality, rather than adjusting my reality to fit the established standard?

Yeah, i'll be sure to hop on that turnip truck wid ja, why don't yu run on up thar, and I'll be along shortly...

Besides that that particular dictionary is not the greatest, check out the 5th definition on the list: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/theory

: a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena <the wave theory of light>

This is referring to the scientific definition of a theory. However, it's not nearly in depth enough. So look at the indepth version provided in the wiki article I sent and do check the citations they list.

For further clarification:

a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity. Synonyms: principle, law, doctrine.

It's like you don't understand how dictionaries work or that words have multiple meanings. Stop being so smug.
