In some form or another it has always been supported. It kind of took a back seat to other scientific theories such as geology and evolution around the 1800s, but has made a strong comeback in the last 30 years or so. Nothing supports it. It is not a scientific theory.

∙ 8y agoThere are Creation-stories all over the world; tens of them if not hundreds, dating back to the beginning of history. This is because the Creation was a common tradition shared by all mankind. As time passed, most of these stories became infiltrated by idolatry, with a phantasmagoria of warring deities. It is the Torah, in Genesis, which preserves the original.See also:

Compare and contrast a scientific law with a theory using a VENN diagram?
A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis. A law generalizes a body of observations. At the time it is made, no exceptions have been found to a law. Scientific laws explain things, but they do not describe them. One way to tell a law and a theory apart is to ask if the description gives you a means to explain 'why'. As you can see, there is no 'proof' or absolute 'truth' in science. The closest we get are facts, which are indisputable observations. Note, however, if you define proof as arriving at a logical conclusion, based on the evidence, then there is 'proof' in science. I work under the definition that to prove something implies it can never be wrong, which is different. If you're asked to define hypothesis, theory, and law, keep in mind the definitions of proof and of these words can vary slightly depending on the scientific discipline. What is important is to realize they don't all mean the same thing and cannot be used interchangeably.

What is the term for an extensively tested proposal of a scientific principle that explains the behavior of nature?
Hypothesis A hypothesis is a tentative explanation for an observation. It is tested by gathering more information to see if the explanation holds up. If not, a new hypothesis is made and tested. Note that hypotheses (and theories) can never be proven, only disproven. If a hypothesis is well-supported, it may be upgraded to a theory. However, no matter how long a hypothesis has been around; no matter how many people believe it; no matter what the prevailing consensus is, just one piece of evidence can destroy the hypothesis.

Use the word theory in a sentence?
Keep in mind that the word "theory" has a different meaning to scientists from how most people use it in casual conversation. In science, a theory is a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis. hi look i just wanna say that we need a sentence not a definition oh yeah and i rly didnt understand that thing you wrote no offense

What was the conflict between Galileo and the catholic church?
Galileo was teaching the Copernican heliocentric (sun centered) hypothesis of the universe as fact and openly declared he had no proof to offer. Many in the Vatican, including the pope himself, supported Galileo's claims. However, the pope advised him to stop teaching it as fact when it was only a theory or hypothesis. Galileo refused and began publishing some very anticlerical and sarcastic remarks about the pope and the Roman Curia. He quickly lost any support he had in the Vatican and was sentenced to house arrest by the Inquisition. Pride was his downfall. Copernicus had long supported the heliocentric hypothesis but had no problems with the Church as he did not teach it as a fact.
An educated guess based on what you know and what you observe is called which?
It has been taught far too long that "an educated guess" was know as a hypothesis. However, the true meaning of a hypothesis is simply a proposed solution to a problem that must be tested in order to validate and be considered reliable. An hypothesis must also be provable false. "There are no elves" is a bad hypothesis because it is impossible to prove the absence of something.
