Vernacular everyday uses for words versus scientific words evolution by natural selection. Is intelligent design theory a scientific theory; does intelligent design theory belong in. From the national academy of sciences: a fact. From the national academy of sciences: a scientific hypothesis: a tentative statement about the natural world leading to deductions or predictions that can be tested. If the deductions are verified, it becomes more probable that the hypothesis is correct: provides some type of prediction and that prediction is testable, overall: hypothesis must be testable.
