      I find myself thinking this a lot. Someone goes; “and that’s my theory about…” And I’m like; that’s not a theory, that’s a hypothesis…

          Idk if that helps your point as it’s simultaneously one of the most studied and least understood things in physics. Although I doubt a creationist could mount that argument.

            The point is it’s not just a guess with no evidence which is what they think a theory is.

            If they came back with that you try and explain that’s why it’s called a theory and not a fact.
