5 通の返信Scientific theories and regular theories are worlds different. Scientific theories are not just some wild guess put together with some evidence. They first had to start as a hypothesis formed based on observations of the world and after multiple tests that are confirmed by not only the creator of the hypothesis but also by other people who either are trying to make sure the person did everything or think they did it wrong. After it has stood up to the test and has gained enough evidence it [i]can[/i] become a theory. Also do not pull out the "It's not a law" shit. Theories cannot become laws. Also facts are not the most important to a scientists. I think listed from least to most important it goes facts, hypothesis, laws and then theories.

1 返信The number of comments in this thread from people who don't understand science astounds me. How did you make it this far in your life?

6 通の返信Cultmeisterにより編集済み: 10/3/2014 1:37:48 PMThe arrogance of some people astounds me. A hypothesis backed by evidence isn't inherently more true than one backed by no evidence; it makes it more believable but not inherently more of a fact. The Greeks were the first to come up with the idea of an atomic universe for example, yet at the time there was far less evidence of that than there was for wood just being made of wood and rocks just being made of rock. As much as science is supposedly all about being open to new ideas, dogmatically denying a hypothesis and laughing at it because 'there's no evidence for it', without any kind of willingness to even try out the idea for yourself, as [u]some[/u] people seem to do, is very worrying indeed and does not sway those who are against science into thinking differently themselves - something which science needs right now.

3 通の返信So then when is something considered a fact. When you have proof? What if you have never personally witnessed everything that has been claimed as a fact, is it still a fact to you or just a theory. If you are so eager to find out some facts then study and observe everything ever first hand. Surely you can at least claim that your existence is fact, but I have never witnessed you personally so you are just a theoretical person to me. Confusing huh.

1 返信Life of dinosaurs isn't fact? Okay so the fossils we've found and carbon dated doesn't inFACT show they existed? There's no theory about if they existed. We have theories on what they ate and shit but not if they existed or not. Lmao you sir were my laugh for the day

5 通の返信[quote] Theories are educated guesses, really.[/quote]Absolutely incorrect. [quote][i]A scientific theory is a series of statements about the causal elements for observed phenomena. A critical component of a scientific theory is that it provides explanations and predictions that can be tested.[/i][/quote]

1 返信You're right, but some things are so already proven that they'll never be disproven, such as the earth circling the sun. So they can be considered a fact. It's the same with dinosaurs.

Western scientist are the most elitest, ego maniac, buffoons. All they do is argue amongst themselves and circlejerk off each others ideas. Oh and not to mention, they are easily bought. The only thing science proves is... $$$ talks and Bullsh#t walks...

5 通の返信[quote]Even the life of dinosaurs isn't factual. It's all theories. Theories are educated guesses, really.[/quote] Sweet god no. Layman theories are just guesses. In science those are called hypothesis. In science theories are hypothesis' that have been tested and proven time and time again. It's called the Theory of Gravity yet people don't dispute that. As per dinosaurs? Their day to day activities are based on looking at their bone structure and comparing it to similar systems found in animals today and implying the same behavior they display onto said dinosaur. But you can't tell me with a straight face there's a chance dinosaurs don't exist because it's only a theory when we have thousands if not millions of their bones pulled out of the ground and on display around the world.

People have to be pretty ignorant if they think every theory is a fact. They are theories and like you said, I think people forget that time to time. Hell, the current geocentric model for our solar system isn't even accurate to this day.
