You use the phrase "scientific theory" rather loosely. I always thought of science as being fairly exact. The word "evolution" is anything but. One thing I can guarantee you is that the Old Guard on these threads use the term "scientific theory" with great precision.
It is the uneducated who use the term "loosely."

Yes, I notice it is quite common for discussions to end up being reduced to the definitions of words - and with things like dictionary.com so easily available.
That said, arguing definitions of words like "theory" are usualy diversions used by both sides in this thing.
