A theory is simply conjecture based on facts or it could not be disproven.

The ordering of scientific notions is:

Conjecture, hypothesis, theory, and law.

A conjecture is an incomplete model.

A hypothesis is a model based on all data in its specified domain, and incorporating a novel prediction yet to be validated by facts.

A theory is a hypothesis with nontrivial validating datum.

A theory is a hypothesis based on facts, not a conjecture based on facts.

And you still did not bother to answer the charge that with all the millions of years of data available why the proof of evolution is nowhere to be found.

Swine Flu.

Have a nice day.

“And you still did not bother to answer the charge that with all the millions of years of data available why the proof of evolution is nowhere to be found.”

UH:
“Swine Flu.
Have a nice day.”

Me again:
And as usual you have given me an amazing factoid to prove the entire of the theory of evolution. Are you in on the study of the swine flu? If so maybe you should enlighten the rest of us so that we might be saved from it.
I cannot understand what has invaded your mind to the point that sounded like a zinger of an answer to you... As if!

Still me:
Swine flu... (walks away muttering under his breath).
