The def I have says.
"theory |ˈθēərē; ˈθi(ə)rē|
noun ( pl. -ries)
a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, esp. one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained : Darwin's theory of evolution."

*cough*scientific theory*cough*
Inv3rted:
That's a terrible definition. A theory must be tested and testable. The Theory of Evolution is no less correct than the Theory of Gravity. Can you prove gravity exists? It might all just be a coincidence.

Prove a circle is 360 degrees.
Exactly, it's something we accept.
Digmaster:
But then again there's string theory, which is not proven in the least. Thus theory is anything that explains anything. Id call evolution more of a law then anything else, in any event.
Tom:
Inv3rted is trying to argue theory the same as scientific theory.
