re: #123 LudwigVanQuixote

Confusing the scientific use of the word theory with the mundane use is a standard and stupid technique of science deniers everywhere. It is a word game based in ignorance. What most people think of as a theory (as in anything that someone might believe to be true) is usually, in science, at best, a weak hypothesis.

Exactly,anti science people say oh evolution’s just a theory. Either totally ignorant or willfully ignorant that “theory” in science is different from saying “I have a theory on why he bought that so and so.” I mean shit I am not even that great of science student and I know this.
