minus-square@ArcaneGadget@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink13•1 year agoI find myself thinking this a lot. Someone goes; “and that’s my theory about…” And I’m like; that’s not a theory, that’s a hypothesis…
minus-square@son_named_bort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•1 year agoLike how some creationists try to dispell evolution by saying that it’s only a theory.

minus-square@Lmaydev@programming.devlinkfedilink1•1 year agoThe point is it’s not just a guess with no evidence which is what they think a theory is. If they came back with that you try and explain that’s why it’s called a theory and not a fact.
The word theory is another one.

But that’s just a theory, a gaaaame theory
