Hi Simmo
In science the word "theory" holds a meaning different from what you expect.
As I said "theory" is best read as."fact".
That is not my opinion it it the way of things.
I am not disagreeing with anything you day but in science "theory" is a word unlike the one we use day to day.
To have a theory one develops an idea or hypothesis with evidence observation maths and most important testable predictions.
One our scientific theory is in place it takes a better theory to replace it..the now theory must answer problems the first one does not or rather make better predictions..if not the old theory word stay.
This is not my opinion but my attempt to explain the way science sees things.
