If a theory passes the scientific method in it’s entirety, it ceases to be a theory.

That's where you're wrong kiddo

@Derek Nelson The opposite, a scientific theory is an explanation of a natural event that can be *repeatedly tested and verified.*

@Derek Nelson nope

according to google “A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world”

This is about gravity, correcT?

If it doesn’t, it remains a theory. And is often still cited as scientific theory, Being postulated as if it’s proven, hoping the average joe is an idiot, and doesn’t know what they’re saying.

all hail google the knower of all

read above @Derek Nelson

@Derek Nelson So you know more than someone who works on the field? 🤔

Scientific theory isn’t the method that determines proof. The scientific method is.

@Credibly Charted sorry its not its about what a scientific theory is

what i said doesnt say that at all

Well we can easily just search up the requirements of a scientific theory and it's definitions

^

@Derek Nelson No, but the theory is put trough the scientific method.

A scientific theory explains a natural event of some sort. It makes predictions, and if said predictions are accurate and stand up to testing and verifiabilty, it remains as a theory.

It shouldn't be a debate about what it is

@Credibly Charted thats what im sayin man

Well if Derek was paying attention to what sort of theory I'm talking about, this wouldn't be a debate at all.

Scientific theory can take elements that are proven by the scientific method, and use it in their hypothesis. Like water being wet, for example. But a scientific theory can say something like, “water is wet, therefore ball earth.” And still completely qualify as scientific theory, and Fail the scientific method.

are you actually being serious

Eh? Really?

I think he is.

More serious than cancer.

_"do your research" intensifies_

i think im gonna cry

Lmfao Derek cmon

This is embarrassing

.

You can thank atheists who taught me this 10 years ago.

im atheist

Man, I don't know what sort of world you live in, but anyone with an ounce of scientific knowledge would laught at your assertions.

You're welcome I guess

atheist doesnt mean stupid it means you dont have a religion

*I'm refering to Derek*

@Derek Nelson Sorry to tell you Derek but saying "water is wet, therefore ball earth.” is an incorrect statement and the fact that that scientific theories have some type of explanation/proof to be their backbone

If a hypothesis can be unequivocally proven. There’s no need to even mention scientific theory. You would cite the scientific method.

Like, Derek, my man, boyo, compadre, home slice bread slice.

I literally study these subjects on a daily basis. I'm in college. I'm majoring in phyiscs, and, I'm afraid to say, you're wrong.

But real scientists know that earth curvature for example, fails the scientific method for a ball earth of 24,901 miles in circumference.
