[quote]a scientific theory is an unproven hypothesis[/quote]
*fixed it
Theory is another word for possibility.
I don't really care if evolution is right or not I just care about living. Does it really matter or effect me if I evolved from an ape? I would still be me if we evolved from snakes. I would look different but would still be me.

Not a scientific theory. It is not a conceptual theory.

So its a possibility with proof that is ever changing until enough proof comes along to make it a law. It is not a law so it is just a possibility with a lot of evidence behind it.

No. Did you even read it?

Edited by ResonantParoxysm: 5/3/2015 12:02:09 PMYes and that was what it said. I've also studied it and that is what I've came to the conclusion and have had professors tell me every time. One once told me that there is a discrepancy where people misunderstand theories as laws but that makes no sense because then we would have no need for a difference. He said that a law is concrete, its set in stone, its the way something is. A theory is like play doh where it is constantly changing. Theories still holds true or untested facts to an incomplete law so they cannot be completely held as the truth yet. To say that a scientific theory is the truth is like spreading the word about the outcome of a trial before the jury has found a verdict on the matter. The discrepancy he was talking about is how people say that theories are true when they are not. They have facts that are true but not enough facts to add up to making the theory itself true. People are like, "well the facts are true so that means this whole thing is true," which is wrong.

You really don't understand the difference between a scientific theory and law? A law is a direct observation of a phenomenon. Like the law of gravity which states that any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The law tells us [u]what[/u] we observe. A theory tells us how and why that observation is an observation. So if you wanted to know how or why the law of gravity works, you need to refer to the theory of gravity. Laws and theories address natural phenomenon in two different ways. One doesn't become the other.
