the best optical illusion in the world [#970]

[DL]

i am not here to question the scientific logic behind this video but discus it i am 14 i am not a christian i am atheist but i have always had this question if all this has been proven by scientist why is it not a scientific law. It is only a scientific theory, no where close to being a law because it has been proven by 2/3 of the scientific community that these are not just coincidences but power from a high being. if you could write back and explain how this is please do so because i do not understand

theories can't become law, a law and a theory are two different things, join the forum, we'd be happy to go more in depth

Theories are the best science can come up with.

When you use the word theory in a normal conversation, you mean "a guess" or at most "an informed guess".  That's not the case in science.  When the word theory is used in science, it means a description of known facts that has predictive power.

Note that DonExodus2 (mentioned above) and Ken Miller (scientist; not mentioned till now) are both Christians as are quite a few other scientists and science advocates.  While they both understand science, they don't let religious dogma cloud that understanding.  While they are not atheists, I very much would like to include them on my side if they would not object.
