And once again:

In science, neither fact nor theory are the same as hypothesis or conjecture.

In science, neither fact nor theory are the same as hypothesis or conjecture.

That's not what I said in the first place. I said a theory is a hypothesis / conjecture (<--those mean the same thing you know) combined with evidence. For example, the theory of evolution.

P.S. "Theories" are also supposed to make predictions and be testable/falsifiable by the way. The jury is still out as to whether "evolution" even qualifies for that.
