A theory is always a test case. It essentially says "This is our best idea - up to now" Science is always ready to improve its results an always searches for holes in existing thinking.

This is the primary ditinctiom between science and religion - religion usually starts with the "right answer" and seeks to justify it no matter what contradictions arise.
