any belief in science that is plausible and for the most part has some evidence, but we aren't sure of being 100% true, would be a theory. for example, the theory of relativity, darwin's theory of evolution, etc.

∙ 8y agoA hypothesis is an idea that hasn't been proven yet. A scientific theory starts out as a hypothesis. If there is enough evidence, including observation and facts, to support the hypothesis it becomes known as a scientific theory and becomes accepted as a valid explanation for some phenomenon. The facts must be able to be observed and/or measured and something is not called a theory until it has been confirmed through many independent experiments.
Examples are the Big Bang Theory, Theory of Evolution and Natural Selection, Newton's Theory of Gravity and the Theory of General Relativity.

What does a scientific theory mean?
That would depend on the scientific theory in question.
Does a scientific law become a scientific theory?
A theory, when proven over time, can become a law. Example: Law of Gravity and Theory of Evolution
How would you distinguish a scientific theory from from a scientific law?
A scientific law is something that has been proved again and again under experimentation, and is always true. A scientific theory is an educated guess made based off of a group of data that is not proven to be true. For example, Newton's Laws are scientific laws since they have been proven to be always true. The theory of gravity is a scientific theory because gravity itself has not been completely proven to exist.
How would you distinguish a scientific theory from scientific law?
By not doing nothing

A scientific theory is accepted as factual even though it hasn't been proven. A scientific law has been proven as fact.

How is the big bang theory is an example od scienctific theory?
Hello i am minakshi answer is that the big bang theory is an example of old scientific theory as big bang theory explains that there was an explosion but the isotropy and the homogenity of the universe is not explained by big bang theory to explain his we connect inflatation theory with big bang theory to explain it so the big bang theory is also an example of old scientific theory.

How would you disprove the theory of continental drift?
All you would have to do is refute the existing scientific data, through replicateable scientific experiments which support your theory.
