@neiltyson If they're true, why are they still called "theories?"

@DeoAcVeritati "Theory" in science has a different meaning than when we use it casually. It's confusing! -
@meredithjustice Thanks for the response. Good to know not all in the scientific community are assholes. -
@DeoAcVeritati@meredithjustice It can be difficult to answer the same questions over and over with the same amount of patience. -
@likethecountry@meredithjustice some Christians feel the same way, doesn't excuse the hate though.

Pisses me off how people misunderstand the meaning of the word 'theory' and use it so suggest something may not be yet proven.

@neiltyson Here's a 3 min film explaining why those things are not "just" theories http://youtu.be/1uzsuCFUQ68@Sibelius7 -
@alomshaha Thank you for that Theory clip. Love it (and using it in department meeting with teacher who thinks evolution is "just" a theory) -
@13loki Wow, thanks for letting me know.@Ri_Science will be pleased you find the film useful.

@neiltyson as a (conservative! evangelical!) Christian, it makes me sad that the church has tried so hard to demonize science. -
The church cannot (and will not) as science moves forward. The time to jump ship is now!

*exist. Damn I hate typos.
@r2dave2@neiltyson -
@zachfromkansas curious why you think science and Christianity are mutually exclusive. Most theologians know the Bible's not a textbook. -
Plus how is one to know what is literal and what is a metaphor? What is metaphor in 2 Kings 2:23-25?
@r2dave2 -
@zachfromkansas not saying the whole Bible is metaphor; there's a very real God who made us with free will to choose tip follow him or not -
Perhaps, but if so he has a piss poor way of giving evidence to make a rational decision.
