No, it's not a theory. It's a hypothesis. Same as Creation "Theory".
Certainly one of my biggest cultural pet-peeves is the willy-nilly way people toss the word 'theory' around.
When a hypothesis is backed by mountains of evidence and positive peer review making it not only the most probable candidate, but almost certainly the correct idea...then you can call it a theory. Until then, it's just a hypothesis.
The media calls it creation 'theory' and string 'theory' but that doesn't mean it is one.
I know it just sounds like a pointless semantics thing but when people see Creation Theory put up against Evolution Theory they think, "Oh, they're both theories, they have the same weight.", which is just wrong.
