A good conversation starter!
Differences that distinguish a theory from an opinion. In a nutshell, a theory is a scientific opinion, imo. The only difference is a theory is researched and an opinion is not. Both are unproven and are, in other words, suppositions. Yes, a theory has facts (part of the research) to "help" justify the opinion but it does not prove it true and therefor it remains a theory.
Any takes? please feel free to comment.
