"And I suggest you look up the definition of "theory" and "hypothesis" as used in science.


"The general public commonly thinks of theories the way scientists think of hypotheses."

Both have essentially the same sense meanings, it just that if one is a secular elitist it becomes a "Hypothesis"(to be pronounced with the proper air/nose mixture with the nares angled approximately 15 degrees upward so that one can look down on the generally unwashed trailer park religious fanatics who might really believe in a God).
To the rest of us "hold muh beer" bums, its all "theory" and essentially unproven!
And to think I used to look down my-self at the "King of the Hill", types....

Actually, no they don't have the same meanings.

No one is looking down at the "unwashed masses" or "king of the hill types." But to assert that in science hypothesis and theory have essentially the same meaning is ridiculous.
