Quote:A scientific theory is different than the other "theory".


From the OSU website:
<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204);">"some scientific explanations are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them. The explanation becomes a scientific theory. In everyday language a theory means a hunch or speculation. Not so in science. In science, the word theory refers to a </span>comprehensive explanation of an important feature of nature supported by facts gathered over time.<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204);"> Theories also allow scientists to make predictions about as yet unobserved phenomena".</span>
