You do realize the word theory is derived from a greek word that is a reference to speculation and conjecture right?
I smell language fail 101
Your same argument can be used to explain the existence of God so I will wait for you to be the one to back pedal.
For the record, The word fact can refer to verified information about past or present circumstances or events which are presented as objective reality. In science, it means a provable concept.[1]
When you learn the difference between theory and fact let me know.
ps. Bolded you proving my point kid.
You still don't understand which is incredible. You're using "theory" in the layman's sense, as in "you have a theory on where the tv controller might be" and
not the scientific sense. Science doesn't just produce theories randomly stick it to anything. Science first produces a testable hypothesis. That hypothesis is then tested against the evidence with
no expected results because the results will have to be derived. If the hypothesis is supported by the evidence, and can withstand the brutal scrutiny of the scientific community it will become a theory until an even more well-supported theory steps in and takes over. Just as with Germ Theory, the Theory of Gravity,and Theory of Evolution, etc, the Big Bang is so well supported it is (in layman's terms) essentially regarded as fact.
By suggesting that the big bang was, "Nothing. Which exploded." You've demonstrated that you don't even understand the very basics of the Big Bang.
By saying that the BB is "Just a theory, not a fact" demonstrates that you don't even understand the basic meaning of a scientific theory.
You are in no position to be offering input in this thread what so ever.
