"What about the word 'love' in Tennis?...it means one thing in tennis, another thing applied to emotions..."
That's good; it reminds me of a hononym.
But I gotta say, does that mean that if the pro-ID people got THEIR own dictionary, would that make it correct, or does this separate dictionary only apply for the evo THEORY?
... Which is the opposite of a "hoyesnym"?

The pro-ID people are presently engaged in attempting to change the definition of science in an effort to claim ID is scientific. This in and of itself should be a convincing demonstration that ID isn't science.
We're not going to have to explain again why there's nothing wrong with a theory (or "THEORY" as you put it), again, are we? You know, as in "germ THEORY," "gravitational THEORY," "atomic THEORY"?
If you haven't yet grasped that each discipline has its own specialized vocabulary, or find that suspicious, you should consider continuing your education. Otherwise you might go around expecting to be able to taste quarks because they are classified into flavors.
The word 'theory'is being used in a scientific manner...its meaning within the scientific world, does not change depending on what people, whether pro-ID, pro-evolution, pro-creation, whatever...the meaning of 'theory' within the context of science does not change, depending on what people use the word...that is really just plain silly...otherwise everyone could go around making up whatever meanings they wanted for whatever words they wanted...and that makes no sense at all...
