[B. Rabbit]

Can one use the word "false" in the same sentence with "theory?"

Can we stop dancing? Is it a valid scientific theory? Do you believe that it occurs?

"Can we stop dancing?"

But I love to dance!

"Is it a valid scientific theory? Do you believe that it occurs?"

I believe it's a scientific theory. I don't know if it's valid (tho I suspect it is), nor do I know if it occurs. I think a theory (valid or not) is a theory until its truth or falsity is confirmed.
