Water is wet is a theory. A rock is hard is a theory. The sky is up. I love my kids. Honey Nut Cheerios is awesome. The Bat is funny. All theories.

My main point, which has been diluted to death in the last few pages, is that hard science is not a belief system even remotely in the same way as Christianity is a belief system.

NO! Bad Chula! No misusing "theory"!

Quote:
Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.
The contention that evolution should be taught as a "theory, not as a fact" confuses the common use of these words with the scientific use. In science, theories do not turn into facts through the accumulation of evidence. Rather, theories are the end points of science. They are understandings that develop from extensive observation, experimentation, and creative reflection. They incorporate a large body of scientific facts, laws, tested hypotheses, and logical inferences. In this sense, evolution is one of the strongest and most useful scientific theories we have.
