See Message 23 for a cautionary note regarding topic.
One can use countless examples of various inteligent peoples attitudes on this sight who treat the theory much more as fact than a theory.
It is true than in its popular meaning, "theory" means somebody's uncertain opinion. But this is not how the term "theory" is used when it is meant scientifically. A theory is an explanation of a large amount of data. It doesn't mean somebody's guess.
A theory might also be a fact and yet remain a theory.
