A scientific theory is based on a practical work of a scientists who on the basis of these practicals they deliver theories with solid and proved methods but a guess or opinion is an idea of ours which is not based on practicals or just a hypothesis.Scientific theories are often proved true but we can say nothing about a guess

What is a scientific opinion article?

A scientific opinion is normally held by a scientific body such as a 'learned society' or 'national organisation' or perhaps a science-based government body. It is the formal consensus position of the scientists of that organisation. More abstractly, scientific opinion (analagous to public opinion) is the consensus between the various published scientific opinions, and need not be unique (eg: their could be two dissenting groups of opinions). Generally, inidividual scientists opinions do not contribute to 'scientific opinion' in the same way scientific organisational opinions do (because they are somewhat irrelevant, in the same way that fringe opinions of individual public do not necessarily impact on 'public opinion' generally) As for 'scientific opinion article' I would guess it is an article which presents or explores scientific opinion as above. Normally scientific opinion is formulated from scientific bodies issuing 'position statements' and the like, not articles. I really appreciate this article, I feel this was of great help Its just amazing, the scientific knowledge is explained clearly here

How a scientific theory differs from a guess or an opinion?

A hypothesis is a guess based on the knowledge of the scientist who makes it about what will happen in certain conditions. An experiment is designed to test the hypothesis, or observations are made in the conditions that the hypothesis describes. If the experiment or observation proves that the hypothesis is wrong, then the hypothesis is modified or discarded. If many, many different experiments and observations, performed many, many times, by many, many different scientists all seem to support the hypothesis, then the hypothesis comes to be accepted by the scientific community as a good working model for the conditions it describes. It then becomes a theory. At any time, an observation could disprove a theory or at least force it to be modified, but all theories currently accepted at any given time have lots of strong scientific evidence supporting them. (It is impossible to PROVE a theory, only to provide evidence in support of it). A theory will alwaysbe reconsidered in the face of new evidence. An opinion may not be. A theory also has much more evidence behind it than a guess.
