A "theory" is perfect, without error?
Of course not. A theory is tentative and always open to change. Religions are known for dogma, not science.

Simple, if you understood how science works, you would understand why a theory is the highest explanation of how nature works.
If you educate yourself on how science works, you wouldn't be asking this question and only you, can decide to educate yourself.

Exactly.
Yep and somehow, those theories keep coming through for you and producing reliable results, everyday you rely on them.

yes and I think the moms contribution is what their priests calland not to mention that it all is based on theory......
Exactly.
Exactly what?
Would you rather science proclaim it's theories to be unassailable and perfect so that no one can ever question them, just like a religion?
That's an interesting take on my post.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.
Do you think science should be more like a religion by being dogmatic? Would you be more apt to accept a theory as true if someone wrote them down in a holy book and proclaimed them to be true because they say so?

Interesting thoughts. Thanks for sharing them.
Science is not exact, but is as limited as man, who tries to figure out what makes things "tick" in his faltering and clumsy way, as he does one "oops" after another....
and that is what man's theories are....
learning from all the "oops" factors and just inching along painfully even as man will NEVER EVER "know all things" and will remain virtually in the dark for he will never be "omniscient", for he never "created" anything from the gitgo, because he's not the Creator.
He's just finite man, who is here very briefly and dies, returning to the dust from whence he came.
Yes, these same theories that virtually all humans rely on everyday. Even if limited, wow, they have increased the quality of life for many.
So, who is this creator, can your limited ability point him out to me.
Why would you then rely on theories that are limited?
Which ones?

LOL! No. I'm afraid i am, as you say "limited".
Theories are as well.
