another example is the “Theory” of evolution, which is more than evolution, it attempts to explain the origin of life, from inorganic to organic.
It’s spoken of as if it’s a proven fact, which it is NOT - in the sense that it explains life. In fact, it’s mathematically impossible just as the Big Bang is.
“It’s spoken of as if it’s a proven fact”
If someone includes the word “theory” they concede that it is not fact.
The “climate change” folks omit the word because they are afraid of alternative information and seek political power through their faulty assumptions

Friend, why not just accept your debate victory when someone says “theory”?
If that’s your concern, you win the argument by default every time.
It doesn’t mean you are right, but you win the argument as to whether something is factual.
Looking at my bookshelf I see books titled ‘Electromagnetic Theory’, ‘Theoretical Mechanics’, ‘Control Theory’, ‘Optimization Theory’, ‘Automata Theory’, ‘Theory of Semiconductor Devices’, ‘Chaos Theory’ etc. to name a few.
Using your understanding of the definition of theory vs fact. Given that you are using a computer and the Internet are they fact or theory or something else?
