Answer 2

Definition

A scientific theory is an explanation or prediction of something in the Universe which is based on :-

• Observations
• Logic
• Proof
• Evidence
• Reasoning

The scientific theory should not be an assumption.

Yes it should have enough logic to call it a theory.

If the theory does not make sense or has evidence against it ,then the theory is believed wrong.For example:Darwin's theory of evolution.

Examples

The theory of relativity

Kinetic theory of gases

Lewis theory

Particle theory.

The theory of Natural Selection

The theory of Acquired Characters
