1. INTRODUCTION
Any view, assumption, or hypothesis, which is unproven & variable, may
form into a theory which may be proved or disproved after analytical or
scientific qualification of the same. Analytical or scientific qualifications
include proving &/or disproving the view, point, assumption, or hypothesis
and forming a logical equation of that theory.
2. DEFINITIONS OF THEORY
I. plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of
principles offered to explain phenomena the wave theory of light
of facts. It not only explains those facts, but predicts what you ought to
find from other observations and experiments.”
While theories are never completely infallible, they form the basis of scientific
reasoning because, as Miller said "to the best of our ability, we’ve tested them,
and they’ve held up."
5. CONCLUSION
One may certainly disagree with scientists regarding their theories, but it is an
inaccurate interpretation of language to regard their use of the word as
implying a tentative hypothesis; the scientific use of theory is quite different
than the speculative use of the word.
