I already did that, Jim, twice now. If theories are "never discarded",
then it logically follows that theories are never wrong. If a theory
or any part of a theory is ever wrong, hindsight tells us that it was
only a hypothesis to start with, not a theory. Thus the ether theory
was not a theory at all. The atomic theory was not a theory at all.
The red shift theory of the expansion of the universe may not be a
theory at all and may have to be demoted to a hypothesis in order to
prove that theories are never wrong.

Cecil,

This is really funny.

You just cannot do it, can you?

You rarely argue directly against someone's quote. You rephrase the
issue "logically" into your own strawman, and then knock it down. A good
debating trick, but not very effective here.
