Question about inconsistency?
This definition isn't consistent with other usage here, since other pages refer to the "Theory of Evolution" for example. Or look at [[Global warming]] which talks about "The theory that we are currently in a period of rapid climate change consisting of increasing temperature". But the definition of "Theory" here is "A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant amount of data,[1] for which a sufficient amount of evidence (and a lack of disconfirming evidence) has been found that it would be perverse to withhold assent." So to call global warming a "theory" in this sense would be to say that it would be perverse not to agree! Something wrong here .... [[User:Bwilliston|Bwilliston]] 02:14, 10 March 2007 (EST)
