Sure, just like quantum mechanics and evolution are "just theories". In other words: our current best understanding of the world, provisional (subject to further revision or even deeper, more fundamental understanding), but extremely well established and most definitely the most rational position to hold.
- bjornsing 7y agoYes. I wouldn’t want to call quantum mechanics or evolution more than a theory either. QM has the advantage that it makes a lot of very precise predictions that can be tested. Evolution has the (weaker) advantage that pure chance is not an alternative explanation for the data. Anthropogenic climate change unfortunately lacks those two advantages.
