Re: Professor vs. student: Discussion on God
That’s absolutely incorrect. You are thinking of “theory” as in something that is unproven. In science, theory refers to a framework of ideas. So if someone was to come up with something new about the laws of gravity, it would be evaluated using the existing framework, or theories, that we know are true.
Theory **does not mean assumption. **This is the biggest misconception among people who try to equate religion and philosophy with science.
