A Theory is a Theory but a theory is not a Theory

                                                               

Can we all agree (and by all I mean the religious zealots) that there are two specific definitions of the word THEORY.

The common,scientific definition: "A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena. Most theories that are accepted by scientists have been repeatedly tested by experiments and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena."                                             

Now the one most proponents of ID/creationism use to try to debunk Evolution is this: "A proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact." 

The problem with using the latter is you negate the Theories of Gravity, Relativity, Germ and Atomic among many others. In attempting to discredit real science because of the need to validate personal religious beliefs the religious put all scientific knowledge and advances into question. Ironically they have no issue with accepting that which benefits them while dismissing anything that threatens the fragile religious-pseudo-scientific world they have created.
