minus-squareArcaneGadget@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·10 months agoI find myself thinking this a lot. Someone goes; “and that’s my theory about…” And I’m like; that’s not a theory, that’s a hypothesis…
minus-squareson_named_bort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·10 months agoLike how some creationists try to dispell evolution by saying that it’s only a theory.
minus-squareeggmasterflex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoIdk if that helps your point as it’s simultaneously one of the most studied and least understood things in physics. Although I doubt a creationist could mount that argument.
minus-squareLmaydev@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoThe point is it’s not just a guess with no evidence which is what they think a theory is. If they came back with that you try and explain that’s why it’s called a theory and not a fact.

I just say “so is gravity”
