A "theory", as the word is used in science, is not just a guess; it's refers to a system of thought that is well-established, and confirmed by numerous experiments. For example, the "Theory of Relativity" or the "Big Bang theory" are more than wild guesses; there are strong reasons to believe in each of them, including the results of numerous experiments.For more information, read the article on "Scientific theory", in the Wikipedia - or at least the introductory paragraphs.
