: A Scientific Theory is a model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena. A theory is a plausible or consistent explanation; it becomes scientific when it is subjected to empirical scrutiny.  A Scientific Theory must be falsifiable, meaning that there must be some way to do observations that might disprove the theory.

: A scientific theory does not necessarily have to have strong experimental support or accepted by the scientific community. Scientists often refer to untested theories and competing theories. Theories can be extremely well-confirmed, such as conservation of energy, or wildly speculative, such as String Theory. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 18:14, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
