This is a bit long, but I think it explains the difference between a “lay” theory, and a ‘scientific’ theory
Situation. Mr. A and Mr. B had a heated argument. Next day Mr. A is killed.
Lay Theory. Mr. B was seen near Mr. A’s office about the time Mr. A was killed. Mr. B owns a gun of the type used to kill Mr. A.Police say Mr. B is “a person of interest in the case"
Scientific theory.Mr. B enters Mr. A’s office, knocking secretary down, goes into A’s office. Secretary hears 2 loud noises. B knocks secretary down again on the way out. Secretary goes to office, finds A lying on floor with blood on his shirt. She calls police and relates what happened. Police arrest B leaving parking lot. He has A’ blood and gunshot residue, and a recently fired gun in his position. Up on testing, it proves to be the gun used to shoot A.
This is a ’scientific theory that B shot A, because no one actually witnessed B pull the trigger.
See the difference?
The creationists are deliberately trying to confuse the two theories.
