Hey, I'm Ryan.
I'm 13 years old, and an atheist.
The common usage of theory essentially means "guess", whereas the scientific usage of theory means that it is a well tested way to explain a group of related facts.

Hey Ryno,

Welcome to the forums. May you find something to spark your curiosity here. Good sig, what you are sorting our is a common equivocation fallacy that many people make.

13 wow, I am 34 and suspect that you will waste less time than I have chasing fairys. Good for you man.

Welcome Ryan Big Grin

Atheists often defer to the scientific definition of 'theory' like it's already the commonly used one.
