Science is based upon the systematic gathering of data on measurable and replicable natural phenomena, and attempts to explain and predict these data by appeal to measurable and replicable natural causes in the formation of a scientific hypothesis.
If the evidence supports the hypothesis, and your hypothesis is found to be USEFUL in predicting and explaining natural phenomena, then it may one day be regarded as a theory.
A theory is the highest rank of scientific explanation, making the construction “just a theory” the domain of tools and fools.

And the most famous early pioneers in science are almost all creationists.

If operational science is your criteria, then that rules out Darwin’s fanciful creation myth. However, in the historical sciences, which have no choice by to make historical inferences, creationists and IDers have every bit as much right as the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism to make inferences based on the HISTORICAL evidence.

Nice, and I guess everyone is to ignore multiverse theory, string theory, the fact that scientists study the effects of prayer...
what a hoot!
