Maybe I am reading your statement wrong, and it been a long time since I took a science class but aren’t all theories unproven, hence the reason they are theories. I believe Relativity, Cold Fusion, Wormholes, are all “unproven theories” and I would argue deserve public funding. I am not trying to start a posting fight, I’m just trying to get clarification on your statement.

You are right. However, within my statement I do allow for government support into the research, whatever it is. But, perhaps a bigger clarification is warranted, so then...

I hereby modify my statement to indicate that "a theory full of so many holes" should not be used for government policy or legislation. Furthermore, a theory full of holes should be banned from consideration of funding or policy making, and it furthermore needs to removed from being classified as a "theory" in government and scientific circles. A theory full of holes is junk science and needs to be trashed.
