Falsifiability is a feature of every element of science. Something that is not falsifiable isn't science. Period. But a Theory is not a guess. It is a framework built from individual pieces, some of which may be hypotheses (effectively guesses) that have been tested and found to hold within the larger structure of that framework.

  Because you have been tested. The term "guess" implies lack of good grounding.

  Try formulating your question again, but this time don't leave out the part where I wrote "that have been tested and found to hold".
