Don't they teach the difference between a hypothesis, theory, and a law on like the first day of 7th grade science? People who don't know what a theory is and what it's implications are have no business talking about scientific issues. It's like some moron who wants to talk politics but can't tell you the difference between the House and the Senate.

From your friendly neighborhood sceintific moron:
Who is responsible for coining the phrase "Big Bang Theory"? Wasn't me, I think it one of those highly educated scientific folks.
Can a hypothesis be a theory?
Can a hypothesis become a theory? If so, does it take a bite from a radioactive spider?
Can a theory be a hypothesis?
What come first the theory or hypothesis? Who gets to fertilize it?
Can theory be formed from emperical evidence, rather than experimental evidence?
Whats the difference between a guess from a Phd. and a guess from a janitor? A janitors work is published on bathroom walls, a Phd's is best used in bathroom stalls.
