Don't worry, I don't take anything personally.
I'm suggesting that some theories are stronger than others. It's easier for people to accept evolutionary theory than it is to accept global warming right now. Evolution has the advantage over global warming by a few more years of study. The main debate over evolution right now is that between science and faith. The main debate over global warming is between members of the scientific community. Until it becomes more commonly accepted, it will remain a theory in a more traditional sense of the word.
