True. Evo theory and space are a big one.

So you think space is fake? Theory is the operative word in Darwin's Theory of Evolution

No, I think the space they sold us is fake.

Theory is the operative word in Darwin's Theory of Evolution

It's not a theory though because it's not based on empirical observation. We've only observed adaptation and sexual selection. By evo theory I mean the large scale belief of the origin and evolution of life as well as the universe. It's a metaphysical claim based on fundamental presuppositions about the nature of existence (materialism, naturalism and determinism).

I can deboonk it on philosophical and logical grounds alone without getting into hermeneutics of "evidence". Scientismo basic bitch Neil De Grasse types don't know philosophy and they conveniently reject it (as if science is not based on it).

It's a Theory not a law.

The distinction has come to the forefront particularly on occasions when the content of science curricula in schools has been challenged—notably, when a school board in Georgia put stickers on textbooks stating that evolution was "a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things." As Kenneth R. Miller, a cell biologist at Brown University, has said, a theory "doesn’t mean a hunch or a guess. A theory is a system of explanations that ties together a whole bunch of facts. It not only explains those facts, but predicts what you ought to find from other observations and experiments.”

So you think the chinee didn't just land on the darkside of the moon for a holographic Pink Floyd concert?

That's a definition of theory. But for a theory to be called scientific it must adhere to the scientific method principles:

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that can be (or a fortiori, that has been) repeatedly tested and corroborated in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.

In the context of science:

  1. you first observe a phenomenon
  2. construct viable hypotheses
  3. test hypotheses
  4. put forward a theory
