Theories in science tend to be educated guesses. However, if you are educated in theories, all you will get is theories. And indeed (the motto of christianforums) all theories are to a degree assumption. Thus, many are educated in assumption. Cheers for the laws of nature, and cheers for the cure for X, but assumption will never get you anywhere until it becomes fact.

There it is again, one of the great Fundie blind spots. They refuse to learn what a theory is. It is not a guess or casual conjecture. It is a proposed solution to some question; a solution supported by the evidence. In the case of evolution theory it the solution best supported by the overwhelming majority of the evidence.
And, my I say, God is an uneducated guess supported by no evidence at all.
actually, a theory is the highest status anything can be given, and this status is only given after hours and hours of research. so please, dont insult our "educated guesses" with you uneducated stupidity. many theories are widely accepted as fact.
"Thus, many are educated in assumption."
Capital A, dummy. Assumption is a Catholic college in Worcester, and a pretty good one, too. Not like some Bible-belt SEC sports schools/diploma mills.
Christianity is getting you no where then.
It's essentially assumption, but faith keeps it going and hamburgers and beer keep us fed.
Theory>>>Hypothesis
Moron.
They always reduce a theory to it's simpliest form to imply it's simple, like their shit. Being educated in theory(s) however is understanding all the principals, accumilated evidences and succesful predictions that show the theory stands as the best understanding of the truth.
These are the facts Maam.
“Theories in science tend to be educated guesses.”
Yep. All of science is a very educated guess, that happens to have a lot of evidence.
“However, if you are educated in theories, all you will get is theories.”
He said on the internet…
Do you have GPS?
Watch satellite TV?
All of which operate on educated guesses.
“And indeed (the motto of christianforums) all theories are to a degree assumption.”
And to a greater degree, evidenced.
"Thus, many are educated in assumption.”
With peer review working doggedly to reduce and remove assumptions…
“Cheers for the laws of nature, and cheers for the cure for X, but assumption will never get you anywhere until it becomes fact.”
FACTS are what the theories are trying to explain and codify. The THEORY will never become a fact.
Confused?
