[QUOTE="RickG, post: 59322174, member: 293581"] No theory has all questions answered. In science when something is not known it is clearly stated so. However, that is not to be confused with an hypothesis which asks a question about something unknown or speculates the outcome of something testable. All theories contain countless hypothesis. The scientific method is only a procedure to follow that best ensures that the investigation will yield valid results. It is easy to misuse it if one chooses to become selectively biased with data. It does happen and it does occasionally get into the peer review literature. However, once published for the greater scientific community to scrutinize, such selective bias is usually exposed and rooted out. True. [/QUOTE]
