A scientific theory provides an explanation of observed natural phenomena and predictions that can be tested by further experiments. These f]serve as the framework for organizing scientific knowldege. Theories are not proven or facts, these are just predictions and possible explanations. Theories can never be completey true, they can only be disproved.
Science is never really and truly proven, it is growing / on going theories but myths have already been proven to be incorrect/false (hence the terms myth vs. fact)
Scientific theories can be disproved. This is a key part of the scientific method, creating hypothesis that can be disproved if they are incorrect. However, you can never really prove a hypothesis - you can find evidence that either fits or doesn't fit. If it doesn't fit the hypothesis needs to be revised or thrown out. If the evidence supports the hypothesis, there may be something that you are missing which may reject the hypothesis.
All theories are incomplete and never proven. They are the explanations for observations, laws, facts and experimentation. They can be added to and even overturned if now information comes to light. Darwin himself had a very poor mechanism for heredity that was overturned by Mendel's genetic discoveries.
In science, a theory is the highest denomination that can be given to an idea. In other words, the big bang theory will never graduate into the big bang law. Instead, laws are used as explanations that govern theories. Example: gravity is a theory which is described by Newtonian laws.
Because the church at the time believed in holy things. The thought Nicolaus was a heretic. (He was spreading false rumors according to them)Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church never condemned the theories of Copernicus. As a matter of fact, the Church supported him and urged him to publish his theories, which he did with a dedication to the current Pope. Sixty-three years after his death, the protestants objected to his theories, and subsequently, when Galileo published similar theories, Copernicus (and Galileo's work was edited to say that it was only a theory, as neither man had actually proved their theories, and there were problems with some influential Churchman at the time who thought that the theories contradicted Sacred Scripture.
false he lives in the hundred acre wood False, he lives in the Hundred-Acre woods
Everybody appears to have different theories on that subject
An idea that explains something could be called a theory. Good scientific theories are falsifiable which means you could prove it to be false. You can never prove a theory to be true, you can only provide evidence that supports the theory.
All scientific explanations of anything, if they are backed by substantial evidence, are classified as theories. If they have not been backed by substantial evidence then they are classified as merely hypotheses. No matter how good a theory may be, we can never be absolutely certain that someone will not eventually come up with an even better explanation, hence, theories remain theories, they are not Absolute Truth.
Theories never become laws. Theories explain facts and scientific observations; laws describe the behavior of an object in nature. A scientific law explains what will happen, but it doesn't explain why. Theories explain why.
