Question

In science, the term theory
is applied only to ideas that
are supported by a vast,
diverse array of evidence.
How is the term used in
everyday life?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The term "theory" means a very different thing when used in everyday conversation and in science. In our day to day speech, we often use "theory" to mean a guess or unsubstantiated idea about how something works (as in "I have a theory that gremlins are hiding my car keys").
