You continue to make the same errors. Gravity is "Just a theory". It is also a fact. Evolution is "just a theory"" It is also a fact. You clearly have no understanding of what a theory is in the science. In the sciences nothing outranks a theory.

Interesting, it was a Physics Professor from Utah University that stated that theory can never be proven. I would listen to him I think.

I see what the problem is here - like many other non scientific persons, they are confused by the use of the word "theory". In common parlance, everyday useage, theory does mean an idea or guess as to how something works or came about. It's different in science - a theory in science explains the facts. Take gravity for example, as has already been mentioned. If you jump off a cliff or tall building you will fall to the ground - a fact. Now the Theory of Gravity seeks to explain why that happens - why when you jump off a cliff you fall to the ground.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, you said it correct. Theory seeks to explain.

Yes, but do you see why a hteory in science is far more important than simple facts?

What is strange to me is that you state the theory of gravity as fact. I have came up with an alternate theory for gravitation that explains gravity with curvatures of space-time instead of mass. So then gravitational theory is still just an idea that cannot be proven, just as the physics professor explained. I can calculate the gravitational constant and explain gravity with precision using an entirely different approach. So is the theory fact? No of course not.

A theory is never more important than the measured data. One can easily come up with alternate theories. That is what Albert Einstein did in fact when he defied current theory with relativity.

One can easily come up with alternate theories.

Sure you can, BUT you must have evidence to back up your explanation of the facts. If you don't or can't provide any evidence then your theory is not a scientific theory - merely an idea or at best a hypothesis.

Too bad that you did not understand what he meant by that.

A theory explains the data. The explanation is the important part.

Sorry, not downloading a PDF. What well respected professional journal did you publish it in?

That is what Albert Einstein did in fact when he defied current theory with relativity.

And that is exactly what your physics professor meant when he said that a theory in science is never proven. Sometimes there are better explanations for the facts that come along and our knowledge and understanding are increased.

 

[devin553344]

A theory explains the data. The explanation is the important part.

We clearly disagree on that. By the way Newtons laws of gravitation were in fact replaced by Einsteins ideas. They believe now that curvatures of space-time cause gravitation not mass but the energy instead.

So it would clearly be safe to say that the theory of gravity is not fact, it is dismissed.

The Theory of Gravity seeks to explain the facts as best as we are able to understand them at present. Your statement is nonsensical in scientific terms. Explanations aren't facts.

For the rest of us (including me) here's a plain English explanation:
Science News: Peruvian fossils yield a four-legged otter like whale with hooves
OB

From the link:

Big, possibly webbed feet and long toes would have allowed P. pacificus to dog-paddle or swim freestyle. And like modern otters and beavers, this whale’s vertebrae suggest that its tail also functioned as a paddle. With tiny hooves and strong legs and hips, the animal could walk on land. But “it was definitely a better swimmer than walker,” Lambert says.

I vote this thing is some kind of marine iguana, created in Genesis 1.

And you are clearly wrong. You do not know what a theory is. And yes. I have known for over forty years that Einstein's theory replaced Newton's law. It is an example that theories outrank laws. Your own example demonstrates your error.

LOL, I published it online.

So you are saying that it is worthless.

I question your moral character if you look up to people like him.

'My Brain's Offline But My Heart Isn't'

I mean I don't want to be THAT guy but I think I can say that we can savely ignore the "published works" from people who come up with wild fantasies without using their brain.

Interesting view point. I follow the bible over science. I believe that is wise.

Cool - so, following the tall tales, many unoriginal, of ancient middle eastern numerologists is "wise."

And for what it's worth evolution is just a theory. Nothing more

And for what it is worth, you just admitted how ignorant you are of science, nothing more.
