I read a article were a professor got upset because people said the big bang is "just a theory". Now i may get crap for this but isnt the big bang just a theory? Sure there is a ton of evidence saying it did occur but we were not there and cant say it happened the way we think it did. Now when i say theory i mean its widely accepted. My teacher has said that theorys in society today is thrown around so many times it has forgotten its meaning. A hypothesis is first and when it is accepted by many then it becomes a theory so i dont mean it in a bad way when i say the big bang is "just a theory"
