Semantic games; calling a hypothesis a theory doesn't make it a
theory.

I do believe this is the first time I have ever seen a man create a
"God" from a word and establish a whole religion surrounding it! Will
wonders never cease?

THEORY:
# a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world;
an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of
circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can
incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"
# hypothesis: a tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that
is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or
phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing
becomes a scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory of alkalis
that later was accepted in chemical practices"
# a belief that can guide behavior; "the architect has a theory that
more is less"; "they killed him on the theory that dead men tell no tales"

A theory can survive complete testing by present understandings and
knowledge--only to be found in error at later dates ...

You make a fatal mistake when you establish beliefs on present knowledge
and not allow for future discovery ...

Try thinking out-of-the-box a bit more ...
