Really, you're going to bring up the multiverse theory? Trying the best you can to validate your points with unproven ideas? Theories are called such because there isn't enough evidence to actually prove it exists.

  • [quote][url=http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistry101/a/lawtheory.htm]A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis.[/url][/quote] I'm not confusing theory with hypothesis. Theories can be disproven and have been disproven throughout many times in the course of human history.
