String theory
==Merged articles==
==Merged articles==
I merged Theory with Scientific Theory, and rewrote. There was a lot of overlap and inconsistency. I tried to make it conform to dictionary and common usage of the term. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 23:46, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

==String theory==
I am not sure about the point to this sentence: "However some scientists want the name of the idea String Theory to be changed as it does not fit with the scientific meaning of the word." [http://www.newscientist.com/channel/opinion/mg18825285.400-mind-your-scientific-language.html NewScientist] The reference just has one string theory critic (Krauss) who has used the term "string theory" in the past and now wants to change common terminology in order to further some evolutionist goal.
I was considering adding a paragraph on how evolution proselytizers are trying to promote a definition of "theory" that differs from common usage, but has not yet caught on. Krauss would be an example. In the current version of the article, I was just trying to describe how the term is used, not how it ought to be used.
