Again, I have absolutely no problem with Theories being proved incorrect, whether they be Ptolemaic, Geocentric, Flat Earth, Miasma, or whatever else. Such is the nature of science. Test them, all of them. If you can create a Theory that better explains the facts that make up the Theory of Evolution, or Cell Theory please feel free to do so. I welcome it. But you must bring your evidence. You must bring your data. You must bring your repeatable experiments. Doubt or belief on its own is not, and should not be, enough. > On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 4:07 PM, William Bowen <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> I think we can all agree that I ate an awesome sandwich for lunch. >> >> But as for this? >> >>> I think we can all agree the real definition of a theory is it is not >>> a proven fact. >> >> No. >> >> Again, a Theory is a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of >> nature that unifies a vast >> body of knowledge. >> > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:342626 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
