A theory, in the general sense of the word, is an analytic structure designed to explain a set of observations. A theory does two things:
1. it identifies this set of distinct observations as a class of phenomena, and
2. makes assertions about the underlying reality that brings about or affects this class.---
So a theory can be crazy and outlandish, it hasn't been "tested" yet. A theorem is slightly more certain. We are a long way away from facts here... This is what the scientific community in its whole puts forward when it talks about theories for the creation of the universe. No scientist is claiming to know these things for sure because the word theory implies as much in its definition. Organized religion generally makes the argument that there is no doubt that god created the universe, this is what most people find hard to swallow when so many "mistakes" on "facts" have been made over the course of human history by the same group...
