Is Our Children Learning Part III: The universe began with a huge explosion.

You don't have to have sex to get pregnant. It's certainly the most likely way, but just because someone is pregnant doesn't mean they had sex.

Fine, bad example. I'm sure you can think of a better one that demonstrates my point.

I'll try and point out my actual point later when I get a chance, it's hard to elaborate while i'm at work.

No, I think it perfectly demonstrates your point.

No, I think it perfectly demonstrates your point.

It could be better. We could have one with even more certainty.

It perfectly illustrates the uncertainty in your assertion.

Right, but the point I was trying to illustrate was that the term theory does not insinuate uncertainty. For instance, the theory of evolution encompasses a number of facts. One of these facts is that we share a common ancestor with other apes. There is absolutely no uncertainty about this. Technicalities in the theory of evolution may be modified, but the overlying structure of the theory will not change. Similarly, the big bang theory is well enough established to assert that new discoveries may modify the technicalities of the theory, but the overall structure of the theory will remain.

Those same facts don't apply nearly as relevant with the big bang theory. There however, is uncertainty of how the big bang even started. There are tons and tons of "theories" floating around. Shit, I have a theory that you aren't even black, all fingers would point that you are because you say you are, but nobody really even knows, and until it's proven factually and can be demonstrated as a fact rather than just a theory it'll remain just that, a theory.q

Absolutely. There is no consensus on this, and I have never asserted that there is.

You're still not understanding what a theory is.
