I you understood science you'd understand that theory that remains theory and has to keep change it's position every few years is nothing more than a hogpauge of hypothosis.

And yes theories do graduate to grounded facts, that is exactly the way science is supposed to work.

For goodness sakes man where did you learn about the basic priciples of structuring facts and science. The whole point of science IS to establish facts!!!!

Uh, no. Theories are general explanations behind observed phenomena. They do not become anything "more" than theory. It takes years of research, testing and validated predictions for a hypothesis to rise to the leve of theory. Once there, it can only be disproven or remain "theory".

If you disagree, please given an example of a theory -- that is, a general explanation for observed phenomena -- that has ceased to be theory and is now "grounded fact".

Professional scientists.

Are you going to tell me how you determined that a vote that had nothing whatsoever to do with creationism is somehow an attack on the Lord?

NO. The whole point of facts is to establish science.
