I suggest to look up the scientific term theory and it's meaning, as opposed to it's casual usage in everyday language. If you don't even understand the basics, you should refrain from trying to discuss it. Unless you want to make a fool of yourself, that is.
If we use this definition,
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation. Then comon ancestry and origins of life aren't even theories.
