Wow is that typing with an echo?
Tell me, what is a scientific theory?

Answer 3

Something that displays evidence

Answer 4

Hmm. Elaborate on that.

Answer 5

In what way does it "display" the evidence?

Answer 6

Its a theory that displays scientific observations, ones that include evidence and relevant information

Answer 7

Try not to use "theory" or "display" in your definition. "Theory" is what you're trying to define, and "display" is ambiguous.

This is the definition I usually use: A scientific theory explains the how and why of a large set of data from numerous experiments and/or observations.
