I would say that the dictionary agrees with me...nowhere does it say that it is a proven fact...in fact is says that it is an unproven assumption....a speculation. As I said...a theory would be "hey this is how I think things work. I can't prove it 100%, but this is how I think it works" Like the Theory of evolution. We can't prove that is how life on earth came to be, but we think that it is the most plausible idea. If the THEORY of evolution were to be scientifically proven, then it would be called the Law of Evolution. Like the Law of Gravity. When Issac Newton first propped gravity, it was the Theory of Gravity. After he scientifically tested his theory and shows that he can reproduce the Theory in multiple experiments...it became the Law of Gravity.
Need help with that foot G? Eric : the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another 2 : abstract thought : speculation 3 : the general or abstract principles of a body of fact, a science, or an art <music theory> 4 a : a belief, policy, or procedure proposed or followed as the basis of action <her method is based on the theory that all children want to learn> b : an ideal or hypothetical set of facts, principles, or circumstances -often used in the phrase in theory <in theory, we have always advocated freedom for all> 5 : a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena <the wave theory of light> 6 a : a hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or investigation b : an unproved assumption : conjecture c : a body of theorems presenting a concise systematic view of a subject <theory of equations> -----Original Message----- From: GMoney [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 7:47 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: This is silly On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 7:33 AM, Eric Roberts < [email protected]> wrote: > > That would be a law.

Oh man......that's a good morning laugh.
