*Scientifi c Theory (or Law): An integrated, comprehen-
sive explanation of many “facts,” especially one that has been
repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make
predictions about natural phenomena. A theory can often gener-
ate additional hypotheses and testable predictions. Theories can
incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses.*
Yeah, not the best way to word it, since it gives out the idea that something can be repeatedly tested or simple consensus as an alternative, when consensus alone isn't science, it has to be backed up
