Said it before, so I'll keep it short and simple.

When scientists say it's a theory, that doesn't mean it's untested. Common usage and scientific usage of the word are different. Scientific theories don't become scientific laws. Theories explain laws.

Quick example: The Law of Gravity describes HOW matter attracts other matter. The Theory of Gravity explains WHY matter attracts other matter.

Really, a law is a statement of fact. Not that great an accomplishment, except in it's precision. Seriously, how big of a deal is it to say that what goes up must come down, right? But a theory... that's a big deal. That's a lot more complicated. It's an explanation for all given evidence, supported by tests, experimentation , and observation, for why something occurs the way it does.

It's not just a theory. More like... 'Holy Crap! It's a Theory!'

Seriously, I blame the deficient education system for not making this clear to every school kid.
