scientific theory = scientific guesses.
Rather than trying to trick, just look up the word theory.
Simple, eh?
Son, you are grasping at straws. When scientists use the term "theory" it does not mean "guess."
But lets just say you are right, and "theory" does mean "guess."
If that's all a "theory" is, why are the CS/ID folks so eager to attain that status?
"Evolutions is just a theory," we hear so often on these threads. But now, its "ID is a theory too, let us in, please let us in, oh, pretty please! We want to play too."
You can't have it both ways. If a theory is just a "miserable guess," why are the CS/ID folks so eager to drag their religious beliefs up to that status?
I still think the evidence shows that CS/ID is belief and dogma, not science. [And you shouldn't have to go do the last definition in the dictionary before you find one you like.]
I can't help but wonder why pro-evo posters and scientists work so hard at proving a theory (guesses) is not a theory (GUESSES) while calling it a theory.
Either BOTH should be taught, or neither.
It's only fair to the students to judge for themselves.
We say we should teach students HOW to think, rather than WHAT to think, but we are not doing that in the schools, and it's sad - really sad.
