Once again, you're being misleading about the meaning of the word "theory."

Once might have been ignorance, now it's just deliberately perpetuating a falsehood.

A theory is not a fact, thus called theory. Theory is simply speculation based on a set of observations/experiments in order to explain something that is not completely understood and attempt to make further predictions with said speculation. In the end though, a theory is still speculation, not fact.
