”You are wrong. "Theory" is used scientifically to represent a body of knowledge, for example: Group Theory, Theory of Equations, Theory of Gravity, String Theory, Music Theory, etc.”

I have been known to be wrong, but not in this case. I refer you to “Google.” Type in “Law of Gravity.” The first citation is “The Universal Law of Gravitation.” It refers you to Sir Isaac Newton who first propounded this LAW.

I understand that in this degenerate age words have been abused and twisted out of their obvious meanings, but that is no reason for me to allow myself to be sucked into an “Alice in Wonderland” world in which words mean anything we wish them to mean to support our prejudices. “Gay” to me still implies happiness, “Coke” is a carbonated beverage and “theory” is a hypothesis.

You are still wrong. See post 149 for an explanation.

Why do you continually attack people for explaining to you the usage of terms that has been common in the scientific community for years.
