um, we are talking about scientific theory here, correct?

Theory is an explanation, with proof. It is effectively as good as fact.

No.
You're allowing yourself to cross an line you should never cross.
An explanation might be sound...with fact to support it.
Proof is an entity quite different.
I believe in evolution.
The facts point to the explanation.
That's as far as it goes.
Beyond that....God did it.

Evolution is an observable fact. The theory of evolution provides an explanation for the mechanism by which evolution occurs.

There is no fact without proof. You have no evidence to say God did it.

Faith requires no proof.

Did you just say "I am right because I belive I am right"?
Jordan Robert Wilson

I know. That is why science is an authority on certain facts. Religion and faith never are.

Yes we have.
And you were shown exactly where your misinterpretation of a scientific theory lies.
The fact that you insist on sticking to the colloquial usage of the word theory is evidence of intentional ignorance.
Now, would you mind answering the long ignored question?
What unproven theories?

As a matter of fact, it actually precludes it.

If I may step in here...
Have you never come to the thought that perhaps these sciences and religions you speak of bloom from the same tree?
Fact is only determined by what we have brought into existence, it is nothing more than an illusion brought forth to separate and manipulate our own kind.
At One point in time the Church and its dogma was "fact", whereas only those of it's community and those that partook in its development had the knowledge and education of "language" and how to read and write.
There is no fact without proof, yet what proof have you to say our "sun" is a "star", besides the label we have bestowed upon it? Is a "star" not also a "hollywood performer"?
What you speak of is the same thing, as "mother nature" is the very same thing as "God".

Is that really all you got out what I posted?
Wow.
And you really expect to be taken seriously?
Ah yes, back to this worn out strawman...
You should come up with a new song and dance.
You have worn this one thread bare.

Well see, that is merely having faith in their faith.
And since faith requires no proof...
It is rather interesting, and sometimes quite disgusting, how this faith keeps snowballing until they are completely immune to truth and facts.

Kettle, meet pot.
What "unproven theories"?
So was your claim a bold faced lie that you are being called out on...
... or perhaps you misspoke?
This, of course, makes a belief in Thor, faeries or invisible pink unicorns exactly as credible as belief in Jehovah.
