Jump off a 10 story building and you'll see first hand just how gravity is merely a theory.
Quote:Darwin also, built all his research upon a theory of his own creation. So would we demolish everything he did, because it was built on (what darwin assumed to be true) ?
Darwin was born 1809, so yes, new evidence have been gathered to improve the theory. And I 'd like to see you try and deny DNA.
Quote:Thus, from this perspective, I presented a theory based on a religious book, which I formally believe in as true.
You present an idea (I cannot even call it a hypothesis) based upon a fictional book. You might believe, we with proper education know.
And for the record, here's some definitions for you:
(Scientific) Theory: A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
not: a nontechnical name for hypothesis.
Hypothesis: An assumption used in an argument without its being endorsed; a supposition or a tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
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
