"In the other thread about science vs religion I've just now seen you state that scientific theories are just propositions. No one with a academic background would state such an ignorant thing."

the definition of theory from dictionary.com

"a coherent group of propositions formulated to explain a group of facts or phenomena in the natural world and repeatedly confirmed through experiment or observation:"

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/scientific-theory

 

what i personally find alarming is that you appear to believe that knowing the definition of a handful of words demonstrates that someone has a scientific background lol

 

"Thankfully many other posters made you expose yourself as well"

expose myself in what way? 

Knowing the difference between a scientific theory on one hand and a belief/faith or "just a proposition" (like anyone could just throw an idea around and call it a scientific theory) on the other is kind of fundamental to understand science.

Either your academic education has failed you greatly or you're just arguing for the sake of arguing, which I find very tiresome so I'll leave you with it.

if i told my friends who went to  university with me that some guy online doubts that i went because i supposedly couldn't remember what theory or proposition means they'd laugh at me... because its stupid to say that

in none of my classes did we go through the definitions of words like theory... because it was irrelevant to coding or wiring things

what are your qualifications btw? its kind of rude to ask for mine and not give me yours
